When you divide a number by a fraction between zero and one, the quotient will be greater than that number.

The expression "the quotient of two and a number xxx" can be represented as 2 / xxx. Nine less than this quotient would be 2 / xxx - 9.
12+(16/x)
If you think about it, it makes sense. when you divide a whole number (call that number X) by any number less than it(call that Z), the quotient (answer) is smaller than the first number. For example, 10/2=5, 12/4=3. Also, the lower the Z number is (ignoring if it were 1), the higher the quotient is. Therefore, since fractions are lower than 0, the quotient will be higher than the X number.

The quotient need not be greater than a whole number less than one!

It will be greater.

The quotient is less than the fraction.
When you divide 0.34 by 10, the quotient will be less than the original number. Specifically, 0.34 divided by 10 equals 0.034, which is smaller than 0.34. Therefore, the quotient is less than the dividend.
Any number below 6 has a quotient less than 1.
