Solved! What keyboard key do I use to "divide" in Blender...to scale something by half for example

I am doing a tutorial where the instructor is scaling an object by 50. He doesn’t show which key he is using and he is not using manual numerical inputs into the “Item”> Transform>Scale slots. He is hitting the S key then another “unknown” key and then 50.

What is the keyboard equivalent for division using Blender?

Sovled! Hit the S key then the forward slash (/) key then the number to be divided by!

Thanks…

Press s and enter the number key 50. This will make it 50 times bigger.

Or if you want to type a division use the / key.

in any numerical box entry type 6/2 (will give you 3)

Or 2/2

You can also type things like

8/pi

(eight divided by pi)

Or other math formulas
2/(3-1)

Thanks, Norman, good to know!
