QUOTIENT Function
Performs division and returns only the integer portion of the division result. Use this function when you want to discard the remainder of division.
Syntax

Parameters
Term |
Definition |
|---|---|
numerator |
The dividend, or number to divide. |
denominator |
The divisor, or number to divide by. |
Return Value
A whole number.
Remarks
If either argument is non-numeric, QUOTIENT returns the #VALUE! error value.
You can use a column reference instead of a literal value for either argument. However, if the column that you reference contains a 0 (zero), an error is returned for the entire column of values.
Example
The following formulas return the same result, 2.
=QUOTIENT(5,2)
=QUOTIENT(10/2,2)
