Default divide a resultant number into another number

I need to divide two numbers and then divide the result of that calculation
into 365.

This is for stock turn purposes ie Total Number of Days in Stock divided by
Total Number of Units, reult is then divided into 365

Example: b16/d17 = 57, how do I then divide 57 into 365?

Many thanks

Try this

=365/($B$16/$D$17)

But because I'm not sure what you mean maybe this

=($B$16/$D$17)/365

For what you have described, you want this...

=365/(B16/D17)
