# Definition of Quotient

"Quotient" is the word we use to describe the answer we get when we divide a number by another number.

$\text{quotient} = \text{dividend}\div \text{divisor}$.
The dividend is the number we're dividing up, and the divisor is the number we're dividing by.

In the picture, we're dividing the $12$ pandas up into four groups. Each of the four groups contains $3$ pandas. This corresponds to the division, $12 \div 4$. The answer is $3$, so the quotient is $3$.
