Division of two quantities is expressed as the quotient of those two quantities.

The word quotient is derived from the Latin language. It is from the Latin word "quotiens" which means "how many times." A quotient is the answer to a divisional problem. A divisional problem describes how many times a number will go into another. The first time that this word was known to have been used in mathematics was around 1400 - 1500 AD in England.

There are two different ways to find the quotient of two numbers. One of them is through Fractions. The quotient of a fraction is the number obtained when the fraction is simplified. The other way to find a quotient is by employing the long division method where the quotient value is positioned above the divisor and dividend.

The sum of three consecutive integers is 312

sdas [7]

Let x be for unknown number. Let x be first number . X+1 To be second number .x+2be third number. X+(x+1)+(x+2)=312. Simplify to get 3x+3=312 . Subtract 3 from both sides 3x-3=312-3. Once you subtract get 3x=109.then divide 3 both sides . 3x/3=309/3. To get x= 103. Now once you have that First number 103. Second number 103+1=104 . And third number 103+2=105. To check add them 103+104+105=312
