Statement

Suppose f and g are functions of one variable. Suppose c∈R is such that both f and g are defined on the immediate left and the immediate right of c. Further, suppose that the limits limx→cf(x) and limx→cg(x) both exist (as finite numbers) and that limx→cg(x)≠0. In that case, the limit of the pointwise quotient of functions f/g exists at c and is the quotient of the individual limits:

limx→c(fg)(x)=limx→cf(x)limx→cg(x)

Equivalenty:

limx→cf(x)g(x)=limx→cf(x)limx→cg(x)
