QUOTIENT

Description: Returns the integer portion of a division. Use this function when you want to discard the remainder of a division.

Syntax: QUOTIENT(Numerator, Denominator)

• Numerator is the dividend.
• Denominator is the divisor.

Remarks:

• Both arguments must be numerical.

• When used in an event analysis flowchart, the parameters must evaluate to numerical values. They can include:

• Numerical values

• Standard operands (+, -, *, /)

• Predefined mathematical functions (exp, log, sin, etc.)

• Event analysis internal functions

• Event analysis resources

• References to any ReliaSoft Workbooks

Example:

• QUOTIENT(5, 2) = 2 [integer portion of 5/2]
• QUOTIENT(4.5, 3.1) = 1 [integer portion of (4.5/3.1)]
• QUOTIENT(-10, 3) = -3 [integer portion of -10/3]
