Quotient num1 num2
(Quotient num)
num1 / num2

outputs the quotient of its inputs. The quotient of two integers is an integer if and only if the dividend is a multiple of the divisor. (In other words, QUOTIENT 5 2 is 2.5, not 2, but QUOTIENT 4 2 is 2, not 2.0 -- it does the right thing.) With a single input, QUOTIENT outputs the reciprocal of the input.

Examples:

2/3		;0.666667  ;-)
pi/2		;1.5708  ;-)
[1 2 3]/[4 5 6]		;[0.25 0.4 0.5] ;-)

Quotient 2 3		;0.666667  ;-)
Quotient pi 2		;1.5708  ;-)
Quotient [1 2 3] [4 5 6]		;[0.25 0.4 0.5] ;-)
(Quotient 4)		;0.25  ;-)
