Aliquot Part, is a quantity which, being repeated any number of times, becomes equal to an integer. Thus 6 is an aliquot part of 24, and 5 an aliquot part of 30, &c.

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 10, and 5 a fourth part of the same.
