1. **Problem statement:** Given complex numbers $Z_1 = 2 - 3i$, $Z_2 = 6 + i$, $Z_3 = 2 + 4i$, and $Z_4 = 5 - i$, find the quotient $\frac{Z_2}{Z_1}$.
2. **Formula and rules:** To divide two complex numbers, multiply numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator:
$$\frac{a+bi}{c+di} = \frac{(a+bi)(c - di)}{(c+di)(c - di)} = \frac{(a+bi)(c - di)}{c^2 + d^2}$$
3. **Apply to $\frac{Z_2}{Z_1}$:**
$$\frac{6 + i}{2 - 3i} = \frac{(6 + i)(2 + 3i)}{(2 - 3i)(2 + 3i)}$$
4. **Calculate denominator:**
$$(2 - 3i)(2 + 3i) = 2^2 + 3^2 = 4 + 9 = 13$$
5. **Calculate numerator:**
$$(6 + i)(2 + 3i) = 6 \times 2 + 6 \times 3i + i \times 2 + i \times 3i = 12 + 18i + 2i + 3i^2$$
6. **Simplify numerator:**
Since $i^2 = -1$,
$$12 + 18i + 2i + 3(-1) = 12 + 20i - 3 = 9 + 20i$$
7. **Write final expression:**
$$\frac{9 + 20i}{13} = \frac{9}{13} + \frac{20}{13}i$$
8. **Answer:**
$$\boxed{\frac{Z_2}{Z_1} = \frac{9}{13} + \frac{20}{13}i}$$
This completes the first problem.
