This is because 2÷m will result in division by zero. You can see that 2÷1+m works fine, since that prevents any zeros in the divisor.

Hi,

vector × or ÷ scalar

scalar × or ÷ vector

are all expected result. ( as scalar duplicate to same shape as vector )

One higher rank to matrix,

matrix × scalar

scalar × matrix

are all expected result.

matrix ÷ scalar is OK too,

but scalar ÷ matrix got no "expected" result and error... why?
