In mathematics, the quotient is the number obtained by dividing one number ny another number.

For example, if we divide the number 12 by 6, the result so obtained is 2, which is the quotient. It is the answer from the division process. The quotient can be an integer or a decimal number or a fraction.

Example: What 18 divide by another number 3, the result or quotient is 6.$18\text{ â¶Ä‰}÷\text{ â¶Ä‰}3\text{ â¶Ä‰}=\text{ â¶Ä‰}6$

RULE 1: The quotient of a positive integer and a negative integer is negative.

RULE 2: The quotient of two positive integers is positive.

RULE 3: The quotient of two negative integers is positive.

Rule: The quotient of a positive integer and a negative integer is negative.

To determine the quotient it is needed to divide$52\text{ â¶Ä‰by â¶Ä‰}(−\text{ â¶Ä‰}4)\text{ â¶Ä‰}$

Evaluate:$52\text{ â¶Ä‰}÷\text{ â¶Ä‰}(−\text{ â¶Ä‰}4)\text{ â¶Ä‰}=\text{ â¶Ä‰}−\text{ â¶Ä‰}13$

The quotient is$−\text{ â¶Ä‰}13$
