Let's denote the number as x. The quotient of the number and 4 is x/4. Five less than this quotient would be (x/4) - 5. The equation we have is (x/4) - 5 = 15. By solving this equation, we find that x = 80.
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.
When you divide a number by a fraction between zero and one, the quotient will be greater than that number.
It is considered an inequality.
Any number that's −30 or less would fit.

The long division abstract method works with any number, including numbers that are less than one. The answer will also be a decimal, or if the number is a negative number, than the answer, or quotient will also be negative.
The quotient need not be greater than a whole number less than one!

A negative number is less than a positive number. Think about it this way: a negative number is less than 0. A positive number is greater than 0. Therefore, a negative number must be less than a positive number.
A negative number is less than zero.
