Subject: Column-by-column division

I have a 10 x 2 matrix x. Like to divide the first column by s[1] and 
second column by s[2]. The following lines work but are clumsy. Any 
idea? Thanks.

 > x
 ????? [,1] [,2]
 ?[1,]??? 1?? 11
 ?[2,]??? 2?? 12
 ?[3,]??? 3?? 13
 ?[4,]??? 4?? 14
 ?[5,]??? 5?? 15
 ?[6,]??? 6?? 16
 ?[7,]??? 7?? 17
 ?[8,]??? 8?? 18
 ?[9,]??? 9?? 19
[10,]?? 10?? 20
 > s
[1] 1 2
 > t(t(x)/s)
 ????? [,1] [,2]
 ?[1,]??? 1? 5.5
 ?[2,]??? 2? 6.0
 ?[3,]??? 3? 6.5
 ?[4,]??? 4? 7.0
 ?[5,]??? 5? 7.5
 ?[6,]??? 6? 8.0
 ?[7,]??? 7? 8.5
 ?[8,]??? 8? 9.0
 ?[9,]??? 9? 9.5
[10,]?? 10 10.0
