What is the integral of a quotient?

That depends on the quotient. The most basic quotient you might run into would be something of the form;

#int 1/x dx#

which is #ln(x)#. Many of these basic integrals can be found on an integral table like this one. If, on the other hand, you have a quotient of two functions;

#int f(x)/g(x) dx#

I would recommend trying to use substitution, integration by parts, or some other method to simplify your integration.

Without knowing a specific function you would like to integrate, I can't be any more helpful than that.
