Formula for division?

[Guest]

I am trying to have excel automatically divide the totals in two cells, I can
manually enter the figures and excel does the math. I am looking for a
formula that will simplify my work.

What is wrong with =A1/B1 in C1 (as an example)

wouldn't it somply be:

=(c1/c2

='cell reference for first figure'/'cell reference for second figure'

basically type =
click the first cell
type /
click the second cel
