I'd like to divide the values of the second column by its last entry (here 9.82197e-08).
I would be thankful if someone could show me how to do it in Linux.
Thanks!

"Do it in Linux" is somewhat ambiguous. Do you want to deploy a shell script, an awk (or other tool) script? Any attempts/thoughts/ideas from your side?
Sorry, I should have been more clear.
I searched in the forum and I saw a similar post as mine by for dividing a column by its first number using awk. here is what was suggested:
This may work on some but not all awk versions depending on the NR and $2 values being retained in the END section or not.
For larger files, you might want to extract the last line with e.g. tail, or reverse the overall line order with tac, or run through the file twice.
NR
The ordinal number of the current record from the start of input. Inside a BEGIN action the value shall be zero. Inside an END action the value shall be the number of the last record processed.
So one should be able to use NR and instead of $2, you could use T2[NR]

By comparing column 1 and 2 in each line, I hope can print out the column with smallest number.

current script:
