ALIQUOT Part, is such Part of any Number, or Quantity, as will exactly measure it, without any Remainder.—Or, it is a Part, which being taken a certain Number of times, becomes equal to the Whole, or Integer. See PART, &c. Thus, 3 is an Aliquot Part of 12; because being taken four times, it will just measure it. The Word is formed of the Latin Aliquoties, any number of times. A Table of Aliquot Parts of a Pound, see under the Article MULTIPLICATION.
