This ORACC project has tons of stuff to pour through, but we just have to be mindful of temporal issues: https://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/dccmt/
Based on that same text it looks like they phrase division as multiplying by the reciprocal (IGI) of sth. Is 𒅆 the right orthography for IGI?
IGI 7.30 DU₈.A 8 ta-mar
Yep, that's correct!

It would be fun to collect word problems that we can use as test cases: P254956
This text is full of them: https://oracc.museum.upenn.edu//dccmt/P274707/html
But we need to decide on terminology since these are ~1500 years apart!
A.RA₂ is pretty good as "times" x A.RA₂ y
20 A.RÁ 3 TAB.BA 1 IGI.DU₈
(the TAB.BA is not needed I think)14.30 A.RÁ 14.30 3.30.15
ZI (nasāhu) "tear out" or subtract:
1.40 i-na 28.20 BA.ZI 26.40 IGI.DU₈
1 i-na 1.33.45 BA.ZI 33.45 IGI.DU₈
IGI.DU₈ here is ta-mar: "you will see"
DAḪ.ḪA (waṣābu) "to add":
15 a-na 1 DAḪ.ḪA 1.15 IGI.DU₈
