Quantitative is something that you can measure with variable data. Exemple : lenght, weight, temperature, etc...
in contrast Qualitative is not measurable but allows to differenciate.
Ex: country, day of the week, etc...

To answer strictly, there is no meaning as 'quantative' is not a real word.
If you meant 'quantatative', then the meaning is;
1. that is or may be estimated by quantity.
2. of or pertaining to the describing or measuring of quantity.
3. of or pertaining to a metrical system, as that of classical verse, based on the alternation of long and short, rather than accented and unaccented, syllables.
4. of or pertaining to the length of a spoken vowel or consonant.

I think you're missing a tit . Did you mean quantitative? If so it means expressed in real amounts. Dictionary says "relating to, measuring, or measured by the quantity of something rather than its quality". The other similar word is qualitative, meaning expressed in terms of its quality or relative to something else.

As you have spelled it, it means nothing. You may mean QUANTITATIVE. Quantitative information/data can be converted to, or is already in the form of numerical values (i.e. quantities). On the other hand, qualitative data cannot e.g. people's opinions about some complex topic of interest.
Surveys may collect both quantitative and qualitative data.

Quantitative means that the solution can be quantified - meaning you can use numbers or equations to describe it.
This differs from qualitative, which means you can only use general concepts to describe it.
Saying something is "rather large" would be qualitative. Saying it is 127 meters wide would be quantitative.

in simple terms quantitative is something real that can be observed and can be known easily.(ex:no of items,volume etc)
if it is qualitative it is something that needs to be known by indirect method or needs some certain procedure to find(ex:viscosity,richness in proteins etc)
