Diocletian's successors continued his policy of State control of the empire's economy.
His division of the empire into two parts helped set up the long existence of the Byzantine empire in the East.
In the long run however, Diocletian's reforms, slowed down, but could not prevent the western half of the empire to survive.
The Empire had become too large to control in a pre-mechanical transport and pre-electronic communications age. He split it into four parts, the two larger - east and west - ruled by their own emperor, the two lesser ones by a caesar. This gave each ruler a manageable area to control.
The result of division is the quotient.
The result of a division problem is called a quotient.
The result of Long division is called a quotient.
As the western half of the Roman empire with Rome as its capital finally collapsed, the wisdom of the Roman emperor Diocletian can be seen as a brilliant one with a good deal of foresight. Diocletian became emperor of the entire Roman empire in 284 AD/CE. He came from a humble heritage, joined the army and worked his way to the upper ranks of the legions and rose to the rank of general. He served under the emperor Numerian. When Numerian was killed, Diocletian murdered the assassins of his leader. Based on his loyalty to the former emperor and his solid reputation, the legions proclaimed him Emperor. With his absolute power he did what earlier Roman emperors might view with horror. Even as far back as the civil war between Octavian and Mark Antony, supporters of Octavian feared that Antony and Cleopatra planned on building their own empire in the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea with Alexandria as its capital. This new empire would of course mean the conquest of Roman provinces in the east. The idea of a split empire was never an option almost 300 years before Diocletian. Diocletian believed that world affairs had reached a point where the empire could not be ruled from only Rome. Diocletian therefore divided the empire in two pieces. In fact he abandoned Rome as a capital. Diocletian sought a new city for his capital. He found one in Nicomedia. The city was near the ancient Greek colony of Byzantium. In Rome the Senate still met, however Rome had decayed and was almost unrecognisable from its days of glory. This decision which would have far reaching affects for the empire was primarily a military decision. To adequately defend Europe and Asia Diocletian believed that Rome's location, once ideal, was too far south from the Alps to do this. He had the best view on this from his generalship in the military. he appointed his trusted friend & general Maximian to do his best to defend the West from Milan, a city northeast of Rome. The empire managed to continue as Diocletian passed laws to make reforms and stop the bleeding. Time passed and the slow decline continued upon the resignation of Diocletian. After a series of civil wars, Constantine emerged as the new emperor in 313 AD/CE. Constantine enlarged the old Greek city of Byzantium and renamed it Constantinople. This move immediately placed the new capital in a strategic position, easy to defend and for all practically made the east-west division of the empire permanent. The position of the new capital yielded other benefits. It was located on a peninsula in the Bosphorus where Europe meets Asia Minor and the Black Sea joins the Mediterranean Sea. Constantinople was on the age old trade routes between East and West. The fortified city was impregnable. And as Rome fell in the West, the eastern empire remained in tact. It became known as the Byzantine Empire and lasted until 1453 when the Ottoman Turks siezed it. The empire was hellenistic, not made in the Roman mold but in the Greek mode.

Division is a function of mathematics. The result of this process is finding the product of division. This is the factor that connects two numbers.
quotient (ie. quotient = dividend / divisor)
Division by zero is impossible.
