Cell growth occurs when it goes through interphase and mitosis to complete the cell cycle. Most cells when mature, begin to lose the ability to divide; while others begin dividing rapidly. For a group of cells that lose the ability to divide and rarely complete the cell cycle, a high proportion of cells in the resting stage of the cell cycle (G1) is expected. In a rapidly dividing cell population, a high proportion of cells in the stage of mitosis is to be expected. One way to quantify cell division is by using the mitotic index; number of cells in mitosis divided by the total number of cells. Quantifying a dividing cell populations can show how cells differ in their capability to divide.

Formula
$$\mbox{Mitotic I}=\frac\mbox{(P+M+A+T)}\mbox{N}*100%$$

, (P+M+A+T) — the sum of all cells in phase as prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase, respectively; N — total number of cells.
