in reply to Stumped with a math question in my Perl program

Yes.

We call it "division" (or "long division").

Divide the value of experiment-1-data by the value of experiment-2-data to ascertain the multiplier.

Implementation in Perl is left as an exercise for the OP.

Hint: see On asking for help and How do I post a question effectively?.

Short form: Show some effort. This is not code-a-matic.
