Definition
In math, the result you get when you divide one number by another; more generally, a measured level or amount of a quality.
Etymology
From Latin *quotientem*, present participle of *quotere* ('to make how many'), from *quot* ('how many'). It came into math to name the 'how many times' part of division.
Kelly Says
Quotient literally answers 'how many times does this fit?': 12 ÷ 3 gives a quotient of 4 because 3 fits into 12 four times. Terms like IQ (intelligence quotient) borrow the math word to sound precise, even when what they measure is fuzzy.
