Aliquant PART, is a quantity which, being repeated any number of times, becomes always either greater or less than the whole. Thus 5 is an aliquant part of 17, and 9 an aliquant part of 10, &c.
The aliquant part is resolvable into aliquot parts. Thus 15, an aliquant part of 20, is resolvable into 10½, and 5 a fourth part of the same.
