QUOTIENT function: Description, Usage, Syntax, Examples and Explanation

What is QUOTIENT function in Excel?

QUOTIENT function is one of the Math and Trig functions in Microsoft Excel that returns the integer portion of a division. Use this function when you want to discard the remainder of a division.

Tip: If you want to divide numeric values, you should use the “/” operator as there isn’t a DIVIDE function in Excel. For example, to divide 5 by 2, you would type =5/2 into a cell, which returns 2.5. The QUOTIENT function for these same numbers =QUOTIENT(5,2) returns 2, since QUOTIENT doesn’t return a remainder.

Syntax of QUOTIENT function

QUOTIENT(numerator, denominator)

The QUOTIENT function syntax has the following arguments:

  • Numerator: The dividend.
  • Denominator: The divisor.

QUOTIENT formula explanation

If either argument is nonnumeric, QUOTIENT returns the #VALUE! error value.
