Best Answer

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)

Why does a whole number divided by a fraction less than one have a quotient greater than the whole number dividend?

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.
