    Make sure both your numbers are in fact numbers. I.e. that they are not accidentally entered as text. They could contain leading or trailing spaces in case you copied ot imported them from another document. Dividing a number by text or a text by a number will give you the value error.

     

    You can format any number to display up to 30 decimals. If you want to calculate with 6 digits precision you need to use =ROUND(C2/D2,6)
