   Quotient
   Quotient: The result of mathematical division. The I.Q. (Intelligence Quotient) is arrived at by dividing the person's mental age (as determined on the Binet test) by the person's chronologic age and multiplying by 100. So if a child scores at the 8-year old level but is only 6, the I.Q. is 8/6 X 100=125.

    Quotient
    In mathematics, a `quotient` is the end result of a division problem. For example, in the problem 6 ÷ 3, the quotient would be 2, while 6 would be called the dividend, and 3 the divisor. The quotient can also be expressed as the number of times the divisor divides into the dividend. A quotient can also mean just the integer part of the result of dividing two integers. For example, the quotient of 13 ÷ 5 would be 2 while the remainder would be ...

    quotient
    The number of times that one number can be divided exactly into another. In the division of one positive integer by another, the quotient is the largest number of times (k) the divisor (a) must be multiplied so that 0 < or = (b - ka) < a, where b is the dividend and (b - ka) the remainder.
