Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how aliquot appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
„Die Bezeichnung aliquot wird dann verwendet, wenn die Probenmenge eine ganzzahlige Teilmenge der Gesamtprobe darstellt (z.B. 10 ml einer 100-ml-Probe). Bei nicht-ganzzahligen Teilmengen wird der Term aliquant benutzt (z.B. bei 15 ml einer 100-ml-Probe).“
Da … offene und gedeckte Pfeifen eine Reihe von Tönen geben, welche man aliquote oder harmonische Töne nennt, so sind diese beiden Benennungen an Zungenpfeifen zu unterscheiden.
