matlab division by vector?

Where can I find the the documentation for this sort of division and output? Why is the results different from 1./a? 

a = [4,5,6,8]

>> 1/a'

ans =

     0         0         0    0.1250

For arrays, the operand / is the mrdivide function: the result of B/A will be one solution of the linear system xA=B.

It is completely different from the operand ./, which corresponds to the rdivide function.

Note that, as stated in the comments, a scalar in Matlab is treated as a 1x1 matrix.

You are asking matlab to solve the equitation x*[4,5,6,8]'=1, one possible solution is [0,0,0,.125]
