if i have numbers in column A and i want column B to represent the numbers in A divided by a number in one particular cell, how can set this formula by dragging?

eg. B1 = A1 / C1
B2 = A2 / C1
B3 = A3 / C1 etc..

Thank you..
 
You've really answered your own question here.
Simply type the equation in B1 =a1/c1 then click and grab hold of the low right hand corner and drag it down as desired, nothing more complicated than that (or if there is a range of numbers double click the low right hand handle to auto fill)

I think th equestion here is about absolute / relative addressing

If I understand correctly, you need to use
=A1/$C$1

as your formula. A search of this forum or XL Help using keywords "Absolute", "Relative" and "Reference" should give you more details
