One digit. You can take 48 as a test quotient of 50. At this time, the quotient is 7, and the remainder is 7,50× 7 = 350,357-350 = 7, so the quotient obtained at this time is 7, which is a single digit. Quotient is a mathematical term. The formula is: (dividend-remainder) ÷ divisor = quotient, written as: dividend ÷ divisor = quotient ... remainder.
