Aliquot

In mathematics, an aliquot part (or simply aliquot) of an integer is any of its integer divisors. For instance, 2 is an aliquot of 12. The sum of all the aliquots of an integer n is the value σ(n) of the divisor function σ at n.
In chemistry, an aliquot is usually a portion of a total amount of a solution.
The word is formed of the Latin aliquoties, "several times".
