what quotient mean?

Question

ten more than the quotient of a number and -2 is tree

Answer 1

10+ n/-2 = 3

n/-2 = -7
n = 14

Answer 2

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. The quotient can also be expressed as the number of times the divisor divides into the dividend.

A quotient can also mean just the integral part of the result of dividing two integers. For example, the quotient of 13 ÷ 5 would be 2 while the remainder would be 3. For more, see the division algorithm.

In more abstract branches of mathematics, the word quotient is often used to describe sets, spaces, or algebraic structures whose elements are the equivalence classes of some equivalence relation on another set, space, or algebraic structure.

Answer 3

In mathematics a quotient is the end result of a division problem. For example in the problem 6 divided by 3 the quotient is would be 2 while 6 would be called the dividend and 3 the divisor. The quotient can also be expressed as the number of times the divisor divides into the dividend.
A quotient can also mean just the intergal part of the result of dividing two intergers. For example the quotient of 13 divided by 3 would be 2 while the remainder would be 3.
In more abstract branches of mathematics the word quotient is often used to describe sets and space or algebraic structure.

Answer 4

The quotient is the answer you get from division. For exampe, in the expression "18 ÷ 9 = 2", the quotient is 2. Just as the answer when you add is the "sum", when you subtract is the "difference", and when you multiply is the "product". So "The quotient of 12 and the sum of 8 and -4" would mean "The quotient of 12 and 4" (because 8 + -4 = 4). So that would be 12 divided by 4, which is 3.

Answer 5

"quotient" is a corruption of the mixed arabic/english phrase "the aliquot parts" which means "the equal parts", or the "equally divided parts". "Al Equot" simply means "the Equal divisions".

It normally is used in the sense of:

Dividend / Divisor = Quotient and Remainder

In the above, the Dividend, Divisor, Quotient and Remainder are all integers numbers. Example: 13 / 4 gives Quotient = 3 and a Remainder = 1.

As to your phrase, "ten more than the quotient of a number and -2 is tree", I'm guessing the last word should have been "three". You'd write that in an equation as:

(n / -2) + 10 = 3

In the above, the word "quotient" implies the integer part of the result of the division of n by -2.
