aliquot
Divides without remainder
Aliquot describes a portion that divides evenly into a whole.
In mathematics, 3 is an aliquot part of 12 because it divides without remainder.
In laboratory science, an aliquot is a measured sample taken from a larger quantity for testing: The technician withdrew a 5-milliliter aliquot from the solution.
The term appears almost exclusively in technical contexts.
