How can I divide numbers and separate them easily in the Numbers spreadsheet?

I want to divide for example 360/5 and get the five answers in separate cells? like 0, 72, 144, 216, 288

next time it will be 360 divided with another number ex 8, I then need 8 answers

Formula in C2 =IF(AND($B2≠0,C$1<$B2), $A2÷$B2×C$1,"")

Fill right and down to complete the table.

Extend the table to the right if necessary.


Column C will always be zero. Do you really need it?


The two examples had integer solutions. If some will not be integers, I recommend against setting the format to display 0 decimals because the rounding will make it display results that don't quite add up. You might get a sequence like 0, 10, 21, 31, 42, etc. where it goes up by 10 sometimes and 11 other times.
