What is the term for the result of dividing one number by another?

Sum
Quotient
Product
Difference

The correct answer is: Quotient

Dividing one number by another yields a specific result known as the quotient. In mathematical terms, the quotient represents how many times the divisor can be contained within the dividend. For example, if you divide 10 by 2, the result is 5, which is the quotient. In contrast, the other terms reflect different mathematical operations: the sum refers to the result of addition, the product pertains to the result of multiplication, and the difference is the result of subtraction. Each of these terms represents a distinct operation, highlighting the importance of using the correct terminology to convey mathematical ideas accurately.
