Quotition and partition

Quotition is an arithmetic concept that concerns how we look at fractions and division. Division involves thinking about a whole in terms of its parts. One frequent division notion, a natural number of equal parts, is partition. The basic concept behind partition is sharing. In sharing a whole entity becomes an integer number of equal parts. What quotition concerns is explained by removing the word integer in the last sentence. Allow number to be any fraction and you have quotition instead of partition. The source [[1]] shows what to do when the is fraction is a ratio of integers or rational. The key to quotition problem statements is the phrase "how many are in."
