Good.

Good.

I think you were just missing some of the pieces.  For example, in the
first alternative, you need both lines, just one of them won't do.

(kbd "ESC O o") is just another way of writing "\eOo".  I prefer the
kbd syntax because (a) it's easier to read and (b) it corresponds to
what C-h k and C-h l print.

The first two lines in non-kbd syntax:

    (define-key function-key-map "\eOo" [kp-divide])
    (global-set-key [kp-divide] "/")

As you can see, it's a bit difficult to find the right symbols.
