Quotient

Pressure is the quotient of force and area.

Modular division solves for the remainder, not the quotient.

Some old folks said this cottage had been the church-house where in ancient days the people who came to divine service stayed between morning prayer and evensong, ate their mid-day meal and gave out and received their hebdomadal quotient of gossip.

The proportion between carbonic acid gained and oxygen lost, CO₂/O₂ is termed the "respiratory quotient."

Racism may stem from an individual's "sampling problem" of other individuals of other races. If one befriends an intelligent or well-to-do member of another race, one develops an appreciation of that race. In statistics, one knows that intelligence distribution in a population is shaped by the bell curve, at the ends of which are extremes of the intelligence gradient. Granted, what each person looks for in another person may not be intelligence or wealth, but some other attributes, like physical beauty or emotional quotient.

The quotient of 21 divided by 7 is 3.

Dividing 12 by 4 yields a quotient of 3.

We show that such deformations still exists after quotienting out by diffeomorphisms only if the non linear addition is non associative.

In type theory, one commonly replaces quotients with setoids. In this approach, the delay datatype quotiented by weak bisimilarity is still a monad–a constructive alternative to the maybe monad.
