Is there any way to present division on the same line and not as a fraction? For example in Mathcad:

If you don't need strictly a division symbol, you can use a multiplication

...division on the same line...

It is possible to combine Davide's and Jean's solutions, but you need to pull off a few tricks:
   1) Create a custom function with (1) parameter
   2) Use the special inline division character ｢÷｣
   3) Declare your custom function as a 'unit' (this suppress the multiplication operation from displaying)

To create the custom function with the inline division character, copy and paste the following into your SMath Worksheet:

To utilize it, type in your numerator and multiply it by the custom function, where you pass the denominator into the function as the parameter.

EXAMPLE: solving for 6/2; copy and paste the following (NOTE: since I am declaring the custom function as a unit; you must include ' when calling the custom function):

Greetings,

If you just need the statement to be on the same line and you want to avoid the use of exponents and custom functions, there is a native solution:

Use the function str2num(▮) and type your statement as a string:

     

You do have the ability to reference variables, but the use of whitespace (tab, space, newline, etc.) will corrupt the string and str2num(▮) will throw an error.

Thus this statement will work:
     str2num("(2+22)/4")=6

But this statement will throw a 'not defined' error:
     str2num("(2 + 22) / 4")=▮


Its a good day to be alive;

In addition to Kenny you can remove white spaces.
Furthermore, you can define a nameless function with Ctrl+Shift+K.
It won't show a function before it, though it is a function.
By that your statement shall look as a "normal" calculation.

Answer is NO, Smath does not have native ÷ operator
More productive from infix algo style utilities,
for infinite in-situ command line.

Answer is YES, there are multiple ways demonstrated above. Choose what suits you most.
