Your reply throws me. What kind of skewness are you talking about?
The historic computation of the term called "skewness" was either Pearson's
(square root b1) or Fisher's (g1) which has already been divided by the
standard deviation. Go on the internet and do a search on "skewness" and
look at all the definations and sources.
