"The derivative of a product is the derivative of the first times the second plus the derivative of the second times the first."
This equation is sometimes abbreviated as: $$(fg)' = f'g +g'f $$ The quotient rule states that $$\boxed{\frac{\diff}{\diff x}\left[\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}\right] = \frac{f'(x)g(x) - g'(x)f(x)}{\left[g(x)\right]^2}}$$“The derivative of a quotient is the derivative of the numerator time the numerator minus the derivative of the denominator times the numerator all over the denominator squared.”
In other words,
$$(f/g)' = \frac{f'g-g'f}{g^2}$$Because many functions can be written as the product or quotient of simpler functions, the product and quotient rules vastly increase the number of functions that can be differentiated.
