Rick:
I never worked on the 407, but I'm guessing that if it could multiply,
it could probably divide.
As a field engineer, I did maintain the IBM 602, which was
electro-mechanical and card based, but could both multiply and divide.

You could also multiply, but I never tried to divide so I don't know

Rick,
My vague memory was a 407 read cards and you had a board you could
place wires what you wanted to o print add subtract and take the
results and print it out on the printer(132? Positions?). The wires
were collided. So you could manipulate the data if needed and move it
to the print buffer .
I don't think you could divide just add subtract and maybe
multiply. ( not sure about multiply).
