Answer #1

The division sign of a dash with dots above and below “÷” is generally not used outside of elementary mathematics so for most computer users it isn’t needed. There are a limited number of keys on the keyboard so infrequently used symbols have to be left off.

Answer #2

Forward slash is a division symbol. ( 12 / 3 = 4 )

Answer #3
