MATLAB: Divide a cell arrays with a part of another cell array

cell arraydivideerror

Hello everyone,
I have a 1×1 and 1×5 cell array with names A and B respectively. Here is my code:
for i = 1:5
    C{i,1} = B{1,i}(1,:) ./ A;
end
An error occurs in this loop :
Undefined operator './' for input arguments of type 'cell'.
How can I solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

Division is not defined for container classes (like cell arrays), it is only defined for numeric types. Which means that you will need to get whatever numeric data you have stored in A out of A, before doing any numeric operations on it:
B{1,i}(1,:) ./ A{1}
