Math and Trignometric - QUOTIENT Function
Description
The QUOTIENT function returns the integer portion of a division. Use this function when you want to discard the remainder of a division.
Syntax
QUOTIENT (numerator, denominator)
Arguments
Argument | Description | Required/Optional |
---|---|---|
Numerator | The dividend. | Required |
Denominator | The divisor. | Required |
Notes
If you want to divide numeric values and keep a remainder use the "/" operator as there is no DIVIDE Function in Excel.
For example, to divide 5 by 2, you would type "=5/2" (without the quotes) into a cell, which returns 2.5. The QUOTIENT Function for these same numbers QUOTIENT (5, 2) returns 2.
If either of the arguments is nonnumeric, QUOTIENT returns the #VALUE! error value.
If the specified denominator is zero, QUOTIENT returns the #DIV/0! error value.
Applicability
Excel 2007, Excel 2010, Excel 2013, Excel 2016
