What is a quotient?

Apekchhya Shrestha

A quotient is the result you get when you divide one number by another. For example:

  • 10 ÷ 2 = 5 → Quotient is 5
  • 15 ÷ 3 = 5 → Quotient is 5
  • 20÷ 4 = 5 → Quotient is 5
  • 9 ÷ 2 = 4 (with remainder 1) → Quotient is 4

The quotient is just the whole number part of the division result (ignoring the remainder, unless you're working with decimals).

Hope that clears it up! Let me know if you'd like more clarification on this.
