The number (either a fraction or an integer) resulting from the division of one number by another.
The number of runs scored per wicket lost when batting, divided by the number of runs conceded per wicket taken when bowling — used as a league table tiebreaker in some first-class tournaments.

In context

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.
