What do you call the answer obtained by dividing two or more numbers?

  1. Sum

  2. Difference

  3. Product

  4. Quotient

The correct answer is: Quotient

The answer obtained by dividing two or more numbers is referred to as the quotient. When you perform division, you are essentially distributing a number into equal parts, and the result of this operation is called the quotient. For example, if you divide 10 by 2, the quotient is 5, as 10 is separated into two equal parts of 5. In contrast, the other terms do not represent the result of a division operation. The sum refers to the result of adding numbers together, the difference indicates the result of subtracting one number from another, and the product is the outcome of multiplying numbers. Therefore, the term that accurately describes the result of division is indeed the quotient.
