I realised this in like third grade...though, I can see how you wouldn't to be honest. Usually by the time you even get to fractions, schools are already using the /, so you never really see a connection

@BindView slash is more like a computer thing! But in layman terms ÷ is still a valid division symbol.

@SpencerBeige it's great to know that your school actually taught this. My school never taught me this. Or maybe I was not paying enough attention 😂

In Hungary we use fractions or the colon, rarely the forward slash.

That symbol is never used except for calculators I guess.

if you shove the 1 in 100 between the 0s you get a percent symbol %
