Quotient( r, s )
Quotient( R, r, s )
In the first form Quotient returns the quotient of the two ring
elements r and s in their default ring (see
DefaultRing). In the second form Quotient returns the quotient
of the two ring elements r and s in the ring R.
It returns false if the quotient does not exist.

false
Quotient calls R.operations.Quotient( R,
r, s ) and returns the value.
The default function called this way is RingOps.Quotient, which
just signals an error, because there is no generic method to compute the
quotient of two ring elements. Thus special categories of rings must overlay
this default function with other functions.
