Suppose you are asked to evaluate a quotient like 923/462. You have several options. You could choose 900 and 500 as compatible numbers for the two given numbers and then your estimated quotient would be 900/500 = 1.8. Or You could choose 920 and 460 as the compatible numbers for them and then your estimated quotient would be 920/460 = 2.0. So the question is essentially, what compatible numbers did you pick and using them, what was the quotient. There is no correct answer to picking compatible numbers. Any estimation is a trade-off between simplicity and accuracy. Incidentally, a more accurate answer is 1.9978 (approx), but even that is not perfect!
Oh, dude, like, the compatible numbers for 308.3 divided by 15 would be 300 divided by 15, which is 20, and 8.3 divided by 15, which is approximately 0.55. So, yeah, those are the compatible numbers for that division problem. Cool, right?
You use compatible numbers.
The best way to estimate a quotient using compatible numbers is to first understand how compatible numbers work. They are numbers that are close in value to the actual numbers and are easily added, subtracted or divided.

Estimate 43/81 by using compatible numbers
"Quotient" implies that there is some sort of division going on. I don't see any evidence of that.
