Result of division not quite correct (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

quotient

'result of division' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'not quite correct' is the wordplay.
'correct' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'corrected' mean this).
'not'+'quite'='notquite'
'notquite' is an anagram of 'QUOTIENT'.

(Other definitions for quotient that I've seen before include "Result obtained by division" , "Result of division (maths)" , "Result obtained by dividing one number by another" , "In maths, it's obtained by dividing one quantity by another" , "Not quite (anag) - ratio" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
