About QUOTIENT 🔗
Use the QUOTIENT function in Excel to calculate the whole number from a division operation. It returns only the integer part of the result, excluding any decimal or fractional remainder. This is useful when you only need the whole number outcome of a division and want to ignore the remainder.
Examples 🔗
To find the integer quotient when dividing 15 by 4, use the formula: =QUOTIENT(15, 4). This returns 3, the whole number part of the division.
If you are dividing 20 by 7 and only need the whole number part, use: =QUOTIENT(20, 7). This provides the output of 2, discarding any remainder.
Notes 🔗
Make sure both the numerator and denominator are valid numeric values. Use the QUOTIENT function when you need only the integer part of a division result, without any remainder.
