- Quotient - n. - The number resulting from the division of one number by another, and showing how often a less number is contained in a greater; thus, the quotient of twelve divided by four is three.
- Quotient - n. - The result of any process inverse to multiplication. See the Note under Multiplication.
- Decillionth - n. - The quotient of unity divided by a decillion.
- Millionth - n. - The quotient of a unit divided by one million; one of a million equal parts.
- Sixth - n. - The quotient of a unit divided by six; one of six equal parts which form a whole.
- Fortieth - n. - One of forty equal parts into which one whole is divided; the quotient of a unit divided by forty; one next in order after the thirty-ninth.
- Thirtieth - n. - The quotient of a unit divided by thirty; one of thirty equal parts.
- Twelfth - n. - The quotient of a unit divided by twelve; one of twelve equal parts of one whole.
- Quotient - n. - The number resulting from the division of one number by another, and showing how often a less number is contained in a greater; thus, the quotient of twelve divided by four is three.
- Decillionth - a. - Pertaining to a decillion, or to the quotient of unity divided by a decillion.
- Reciprocal - n. - The quotient arising from dividing unity by any quantity; thus, / is the reciprocal of 4; 1/(a +b) is the reciprocal of a + b. The reciprocal of a fraction is the fraction inverted, or the denominator divided by the numerator.
- Eighth - n. - The quotient of a unit divided by eight; one of eight equal parts; an eighth part.
- Third - n. - The quotient of a unit divided by three; one of three equal parts into which anything is divided.
- Nineteenth - n. - The quotient of a unit divided by nineteen; one of nineteen equal parts of anything.
- Ninetieth - n. - The quotient of a unit divided by ninety; one of ninety equal parts of anything.
- Fifth - n. - The quotient of a unit divided by five; one of five equal parts; a fifth part.
- Sixtieth - n. - The quotient of a unit divided by sixty; one of sixty equal parts forming a whole.
- Fourteenth - n. - One of fourteen equal parts into which one whole may be divided; the quotient of a unit divided by fourteen; one next after the thirteenth.
- Seventeenth - n. - The quotient of a unit divided by seventeen; one of seventeen equal parts or divisions of one whole.
- Eleventh - n. - The quotient of a unit divided by eleven; one of eleven equal parts.
- Eighteenth - n. - The quotient of a unit divided by eighteen; one of eighteen equal parts or divisions.
- Seventieth - n. - The quotient of a unit divided by seventy; one of seventy equal parts or fractions.
- Ratio - n. - The relation which one quantity or magnitude has to another of the same kind. It is expressed by the quotient of the division of the first by the second; thus, the ratio of 3 to 6 is expressed by / or /; of a to b by a/b; or (less commonly) the second term is made the dividend; as, a:b = b/a.
- Thirteenth - n. - The quotient of a unit divided by thirteen; one of thirteen equal parts into which anything is divided.
- Proportion - n. - The equality or similarity of ratios, especially of geometrical ratios; or a relation among quantities such that the quotient of the first divided by the second is equal to that of the third divided by the fourth; -- called also geometrical proportion, in distinction from arithmetical proportion, or that in which the difference of the first and second is equal to the difference of the third and fourth.
- Seventh - n. - The quotient of a unit divided by seven; one of seven equal parts into which anything is divided.
- Hundredth - n. - One of a hundred equal parts into which one whole is, or may be, divided; the quotient of a unit divided by a hundred.
