Quotient

In Mathematics, a quotient is the end result of a division problem. For example, in the problem 6 ÷ 3, the quotient would be 2, while 6 would be called the dividend, and 3 the divisor.

Quotients also come up in certain tests, like the IQ test, which stands for Intelligence Quotient. In this case, your quotient is basically your score.
