The quotient is the result of dividing two numbers. So 3 doesn't have a quotient unless another number is being involved in the division. The 4 is not that number since it is substracted from the quotient you get afterwards.
Examples:
4 less than the quotient of 9 and 3 would be -1 (9/3=3; 3-4=-1)
4 less than the quotient of 6 and 3 would be -2 (6/3=2; 2-4 = -2)

You could mean y/4 - 3, or you could possibly mean 4/y - 3. It is somewhat ambiguous which quotient you mean.
What is the smallest number divisible by 4?
Every number is divisible by 4. A number less than 4 gives a quotient less than 1 when divided by 4. A number greater than 4 gives a quotient greater than 1 when divided by 4. 4 divided by 4 = 1.

Is the quotient 24 divided by 6 greater or less than the quotient 24 divided by 4?
24/6 = 4 and 24/4 = 6, therefore 24 divided by 4 is the bigger quotient.
