Definitions[edit]

除

  1. to remove; to get rid of; to exclude
  2. (archaic) to be assigned to a new post; to stop serving in one post, and begin serving in another
  3. (literary, or in compounds) except
  4. (arithmetic) to divide; division
  5. (Cantonese) to take off (clothes); to peel off; to strip

Usage notes[edit]
  • A除以B means "A divided by B". A除B means "B divided by A", but in colloquial speech is the same as A除以B.
    • 除 is a transitive verb, and A除B is understood as 用A除B or 以A除B (literally "to divide B by A"), the latter of which is attested in Literary Chinese and likely gave rise to 除以. This contrasts with 減, which is an intransitive verb and A減B means "A decreases by B", i.e. "A minus B".
