Talk:Quotient

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).

Quotient of the same number exception
If 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
Saying that IQ is referred to as a quotient does seem relevant, but the following sentence does not:

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.
I 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)
