A q and some d's. Quotient comes from Latin and means “how many times.” That makes sense. If one divides a number by another number, one is figuring out how many times the second number goes into the first. When dividing 10 (the dividend) by two (the divisor), the quotient is five. There are 32 ways to say divide in Latin. Here is one - divido - I divide.
