Analyzing Numbers Using QUOTIENT and MOD

Use QUOTIENT and MOD together to extract whole numbers and remainders accurately in Excel.

Our mother language is the first melody we learn. Let’s protect it, cherish it, and pass it on. Wishing you a joyful International Mother Language Day!

Today, let's explore how to use the QUOTIENT and MOD functions together to separate division results into their integer part and remainder—all within a single formula. This approach is particularly useful when you need both the whole number result and the remaining value from a division.

Example Scenario: If you have a list of numbers and need to determine how many times one number fits into another, along with what remains, using QUOTIENT and MOD simplifies the process—eliminating manual calculations.

How They Work:

  • QUOTIENT returns the whole number part of a division.

  • MOD returns the remainder from the same division.

Applications:

Managing inventory counts

Batch processing in operations

Financial calculations requiring precise division outcomes

Proven Returns in Art Investing

Invest with the art investment platform with 23 profitable exits.

How has the art investing platform Masterworks been able to realize an individual profit for investors with each of its 23 exits to date?

Here’s an example: an exited Banksy was offered to investors at $1.039 million and internally appraised at the same value after acquisition. As Banksy’s market took off, Masterworks received an offer of $1.5 million from a private collector, resulting in 32% net annualized return for investors in the offering.

Every artwork performs differently — but with 3 illustrative sales (that were held for 1+ year), Masterworks investors realized net annualized returns of 17.6%, 17.8%, and 21.5%.

Masterworks takes care of the heavy lifting: from buying the paintings, to storing them, to selling them for you (no art experience required).

Cybersecurity, Data Integrity, and Compliance Advisory

At [Your Organization Name], ensuring the security, integrity, and confidentiality of digital communications remains a primary objective. In a constantly evolving cyber threat landscape, we are dedicated to maintaining robust security protocols and promoting best practices across all operational levels. This advisory outlines essential cybersecurity measures and compliance guidelines designed to safeguard sensitive information and digital interactions.

Cyber Threat Awareness and Mitigation

Phishing and Social Engineering Attacks

Cybercriminals often utilize deceptive tactics such as phishing emails, fraudulent phone calls, and social engineering methods to manipulate individuals into disclosing confidential information. To reduce risk, stay alert for unexpected emails requesting personal or financial information, messages from unrecognized senders urging immediate action, emails containing suspicious links or attachments, and requests to bypass established security protocols.

Preventive Measures:

Verify the authenticity of all requests involving sensitive data. Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) to strengthen account security. Report suspicious communications directly to the security team.

Malware, Ransomware, and Other Cyber Threats

Cybercriminals deploy malicious software to compromise systems, extract data, or disrupt operations. Common threats include ransomware, which encrypts files and demands payment for decryption; spyware, which secretly gathers user data; trojans and worms that exploit vulnerabilities to spread malware; and zero-day exploits targeting undiscovered security flaws.

Protective Actions:

Maintain up-to-date antivirus and anti-malware software. Regularly update operating systems and security patches. Exercise caution when downloading files or clicking on unfamiliar links. Backup critical data in secure, encrypted locations.

Unauthorized Interception or Alteration of Communications

Despite advanced security protocols, digital communications may still be vulnerable to unauthorized access or alterations.

Security Best Practices:

Use encrypted communication channels for sharing sensitive data. Enforce strong password policies with routine updates. Limit data access to authorized personnel. Regularly monitor system logs for unusual activities.
