Subject: [R] Divide matrix columns by different numbers

Hi all,

I have a feeling the most efficient way to do the following is to use
apply, but I'm still wrapping my head around the function.

k=matrix(1:6,nrow=3)

div=1:2


Questions is how do I get R to divide the first column by 1 (div[1]) and
the second column by 2 (div[2])

k/div treats k as a vector and does the following (not what I want)
? ? ? [,1] [,2]
[1,]? ? 1? ? 2
[2,]? ? 1? ? 5
[3,]? ? 3? ? 3



Thanks,
Sachin
