In mathematics, the term "quotient" refers to the result of dividing one number by another. When you divide a dividend (the number being divided) by a divisor (the number you are dividing by), the outcome is called the quotient. For example, in the division \( 20 \div 4 = 5 \), the quotient is 5, because 20 divided by 4 equals 5.
