Question

The quotient of eight and a number.​

Answer 1

The quotient of a number and 8 is a number that is the result of the division between a number and 8.

Let's define:

A is any whole number divided by 8, where A = N + R,

N is a whole number multiple of 8 which is less than or equal to A,

R is a whole number less than 8 that is the remainder of the division as it cannot be divided by 8,

and Q is the result of the division or the quotient

We have

A
8
=
N
+
R
8
⇒
A
8
=
N
8
+
R
8
⇒
A
8
=
Q
+
R
8
[Because Q is the whole number and the result of the division, then Q=N/8]
.

Then the expression for the quotient of a number and 8 is
N
8
, where N is a whole number multiple of 8.n

Answer 2

8/x

Explanation:

Quotient means to divide the two numbers, in this case 8 and x.
