小知识
When you add two numbers the answer is called the sum. When you divide two numbers the answer is called the quotient. The quotient of six divided by two is three.
Quotient comes from Latin and means “how many times.” That makes a lot of sense: if you divide one number by a second, you are figuring out “how many times” the second number goes into the first. Outside of math, use of the word is restricted: the IQ test is short for “Intelligence Quotient,” and very rarely you might hear someone ask, “What's my quotient of cupcakes?” when they mean “What is my share?”
