Javascript for dividing one field and answering into another field

I have Adobe Acrobat DC - and I have a fillable PDF with Columns.

I am attempting to divide one field (TOTAL ROW 1) by 2 to answer in the column field beside it COOP AMOUNT x 50Row1.

I tried multiplication and that didn't seem to work either. I can easily change the name of the field

I supplied a small portion of the form below.

THank you so much, as I have been trying everything

Correct answer Thom Parker

So you want the field "COOP AMOUNT x 50Row1" to be ("TOTAL ROW 1"/2) ?

These names will cause the "Simplified Notation" calculation to fail. The field names cannot contain spaces or punctuation.

But this could be done with JavaScript without changing the field names.

For example:

event.value = this.getField("TOTAL ROW 1").value/2;

You could even create a generic document function to perform the calculation.
