QUOTIENT function

PRO BASIC

The QUOTIENT function in Jspreadsheet Formulas Pro is used to return the whole number result of a division operation, disregarding any remainder. This function is useful when you only need the integer part of a division. For example, if you divide 10 by 3, the QUOTIENT function will return 3, ignoring the remainder. It's efficient when you need to determine how many times a number can be evenly divided.

Documentation

Returns the integer portion of a division operation. It discards the remainder and returns only the whole number that divides evenly into the dividend.

Syntax

QUOTIENT(numerator, denominator)

Parameter	Description
`numerator`	The number to be divided.
`denominator`	The number by which to divide the numerator.

Behavior

The QUOTIENT function is used to return the integer portion of a division operation. Here's how it handles different types of inputs:

Numbers: The function works flawlessly with numeric inputs. For example, QUOTIENT(10, 2) would return 5.
Empty Cells: If the denominator is empty, the function returns a #DIV/0! error. If the numerator is empty, the function is treated as 0.
Text: If either of the arguments is a text, the function would return a #VALUE! error.
Booleans: The function treats TRUE as 1 and FALSE as 0. For example, QUOTIENT(TRUE, 2) would return 0.
Errors: If either of the arguments is an error, the function would propagate that error. For instance, if the denominator is #DIV/0!, the function would also return #DIV/0!.

Common Errors

Error	Description
#DIV/0!	This error occurs when the denominator is zero or an empty cell.
#VALUE!	This error occurs when either the numerator or the denominator is non-numeric.

Best practices

Always ensure that the denominator is not zero or an empty cell to avoid the #DIV/0! error.

Avoid using non-numeric values as arguments to the QUOTIENT function to prevent the #VALUE! error.

Be mindful of the fact that the QUOTIENT function only returns the integer portion of the result. If you need the remainder or the exact result of the division, consider using other functions such as MOD or DIVIDE.

Handle booleans carefully as they are treated as 0 and 1. If you have boolean values in your data, it might be safer to convert them to explicit numeric values before using them in the QUOTIENT function.

Usage

A few examples using the QUOTIENT function.

QUOTIENT(10,3) returns 3 because the integer part of 10 ÷ 3 is 3  
QUOTIENT(1000,7) returns 142 because 1000 ÷ 7 = 142 with a remainder of 6  
QUOTIENT(A1,B1) returns the integer portion of dividing the value in A1 by the value in B1
