Description of the vector-scalar division

Vectors can be divided by real numbers. The real number is called a scalar to distinguish it from vectors.

A vector is divided by a scalar by dividing the individual elements of the vector by the number. The following is calculated:

\(\displaystyle\left[\matrix{a\\b}\right] / x = \left[\matrix{a/ x\\b / x}\right]\)

Example

\(\displaystyle\left[\matrix{4.5\\6}\right] / 3 = \left[\matrix{4.5/3\\6/3}\right] = \left[\matrix{1.5\\2}\right]\)
