/ (solidus)

The division operator.

Syntax

If a is a number, vector, or matrix and b a non-zero number, then a/b is the mathematical quotient of a and b.

If a is a number, then the type of a/b is the most specific type possible.

Some examples:

If a and b are both integers, so is a / b if the quotient is an integer; otherwise, a / b is a rational number.
If a is an integer and b a rational number, a / b is a rational number.
If a is an integer and b a real number, a / b is a real number.
If a is an integer and b a complex number, a / b is a complex number.
If a is a real number and b a complex number, a / b is a complex number.
If a is a rational number and b a complex number, a / b is a complex number.

If a is a vector or matrix, a / b is complex iff at least one of the operands is complex.
