Generally, these types of problems are solved by extracting the contents of the cell instead of using the cell itself. E.g.,
C = {10,20,30}
C = 1×3 cell array
{[10]} {[20]} {[30]}
C{3} ./ C{1} % use curly braces to extract the content of the cell
ans = 3
C(3) ./ C(1) % this tries to divide the cell itself and generates an error
Operator './' is not supported for operands of type 'cell'.

It may be necessary to use the cell2mat function if the arrays are in a cell array. The existing cell array elements must be purely numeric of the same class, and must have consistent dimensions that allows for them to be concatenated.
Once they are in a matrix, you can work with them as array elements.
