+<h2>Syntax</h2>
+
+<p><div class="box">
+
+<dl>
+<dt><nobr>(/ <i>expr1</i> ...)</nobr></dt>
+<dd><i>exprN</i> - integer or floating point number/expression<br>
+returns - the result of the division</dd>
+</dl>
+
+</div></p>
+
+<h2>Description</h2>
+
+<p>The '/' function divides the first number given by the rest of the
+numbers and returns the result. If all the expressions are integers, the
+division is integer division. If any expression is a floating point number,
+then the division will be floating point division.</p>

+XLISP first prints the value on the screen, the second number is the
+return value.</p>
+
+<p>In XLISP, the type contagion depends on the order of
+occurrence:</p>
+
+<pre class="example">
+(/ 1 2 1.0)  =&gt; 0    <font color="#008844">; because (/ 1 2)   =&gt; 0   and (/ 0 1.0) =&gt; 0.0</font>
+(/ 1.0 2 1)  =&gt; 0.5  <font color="#008844">; because (/ 1.0 2) =&gt; 0.5 and (/ 0.5 1) =&gt; 0.5</font>
