What this part means

Divide the expression above the line by the one below it.

Its job in the formula

The expression above the fraction bar is divided by the complete expression below it. The denominator must not be zero.

The passage around this formula

Since Generation III, every non-HP stat in a modern Pokémon game is produced by one rule: take twice the species’ base stat, add its individual value (an inherited number from 0 to 31, effectively fixed for a competitively bred Pokémon [ 4 ] ), add the floor of its invested effort value divided by four, scale by level over 100 and round down, add five, then multiply by a nature coefficient of 0.9, 1.0, or 1.1 and round down again [ 1 ] : S=⌊(⌊(2B+I+⌊E/4⌋)⋅L100⌋+5)⋅N⌋S = \left\lfloor \left( \left\lfloor (2B+I+\lfloor E/4 \rfloor) \cdot \frac{L}{100} \right\rfloor + 5 \right) \cdot N \right\rfloor. HP uses the same inner term but a different outer shell, adding the Pokémon’s level plus ten instead of multiplying by a nature:
