DECM means that your are in BASE menu and are working with integers so 6.022 E23 is not a valid operand.
Press EXIT to exit the BASE menu and divide should work.

A hint that you are in BASE mode: a long press on the divide key will show BASE÷ instead of ÷

I restored a clean slate yesterday and that solved the problem but I have been trying over and over to duplicate what got me to the error message. Turns out this was the problem.

Thanks!
