No, you don't need to divide the masses of the planets by the mass of the sun. Instead, you can express the masses of the planets as a fraction of the mass of the sun. For example, the mass of Earth is 0.000003 times the mass of the Sun, while the mass of Jupiter is 0.000933 times the mass of the Sun.
