In formal language theory, the **quotient** of a language refers to the operation that effectively "divides" the language by a specific set of strings, often based on a specific string or a set of strings. The quotient can be defined in relation to a formal language over a specific alphabet and can be seen as a way to examine the relationships between strings in the context of that language.
