How do I divide in the Linux console?

Question

I have to variables and I want to find the value of one divided by the other. What commands should I use to do this?

Answer 1

You can use awk which is a utility/language designed for data extraction

e.g. for 1.2/3.4

>echo 1.2 3.4 | awk '{ print $2/$1 }'
0.352941
