Im in Algebra 2 and i forgot this, so i had to look it up!! Thanks for the quick info!
O.K. This information was helpful but my problem is confusing and this didn't really help the problem is: Divide 873 by 4 and write the quotient with a fraction!—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.111.161.202 (talk) 18:41, 8 May 2007 (UTC).

Helping my kid in 6th grade.
editQuotient of the same number exception
editIf I have a quotient and the divisor as the same number the total should be 1. There is an exception for this. For Example 6/6=1. Can someone help me with the exception.
Thanks
The exception is 0/0.

Relevance of example
editSaying that IQ is referred to as a quotient does seem relevant, but the following sentence does not:
In recent decades, as more emphasis has been placed on full personal development, other similar quotients have appeared. These include moral quotient, emotional quotient, adversity quotient, social quotient, creativity quotient, etc.
Could belong in the IQ article, but does it belong here? --Lex (talk) 15:06, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
Removed "Uses" section on IQ, EQ, etc.
editI removed this section, because "quotient" in intelligence quotient is from how it was historically developed, and doesn't really mean it's a result of division. As such, it seems irrelevant, unless the description is expanded to include other uses.--Jeff (talk) 15:43, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
