The '''right quotient''' (or simply '''quotient''') of a [[formal language]] <math>L_1</math> with a formal language <math>L_2</math> is the language consisting of strings ''w'' such that ''wx'' is in <math>L_1</math> for some string ''x'' in <math>L_2</math>. In symbols, we write:
 
:<math>L_1 / L_2 = \{w \ |  \ \exists x ((x \in L_2)  \land (wx \in L_1)) \}</math>
 
In other words, each string in <math>L_1 / L_2</math> is the prefix of a string <math>wx</math> in <math>L_1</math>, with the remainder of the word being a string in <math>L_2</math>.
 
==Examples==
Consider
 
<math>L_1 = \{ a^n b^n c^n \ \ |\ \ n\ge 0 \}</math>
 
and
 
<math>L_2 = \{ b^i c^j \ \ | \ \ i,j\ge 0 \}</math>.
 
Now, if we insert a divider into the middle of an element of <math>L_1</math>, the part on the right is in <math>L_2</math> only if the divider is placed adjacent to a ''b'' (in which case ''i''&nbsp;≤&nbsp;''n'' and ''j''&nbsp;=&nbsp;''n'') or adjacent to a ''c'' (in which case ''i''&nbsp;=&nbsp;0 and ''j''&nbsp;≤&nbsp;''n''). The part on the left, therefore, will be either <math>a^n b^{n-i}</math> or <math>a^n b^n c^{n-j}</math>; and <math>L_1 / L_2</math> can be written as
 
<center><math>\{ a^p b^q c^r \ \ | \ \ p = q \ge r \ \ \or \ \ p \ge q \and r = 0 \}</math>.</center>
 
==Properties==
Some common closure properties of the right quotient include:
 
* The quotient of a [[regular language]] with any other language is regular.
* The quotient of a [[context free language]] with a regular language is context free.
* The quotient of two context free languages can be any [[recursively enumerable]] language.
* The quotient of two recursively enumerable languages is recursively enumerable.
 
==Left and right quotients==
There is a related notion of [[left quotient]], which keeps the postfixes of <math>L_1</math> without the prefixes in <math>L_2</math>.  Sometimes, though, "right quotient" is written simply as "quotient".  The above closure properties hold for both left and right quotients.
