What value divided by 1 equals 2?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 1 and the quotient 2?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 1 × 2 = 2

To prove this, let's compute 2 divided by 1: 2 1 = 2

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 1 gives a result of 2 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 1 = 2

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 1: 1 x 1 = 1 × 2
  2. 1 x 1 is equivalent to 1 1 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 1 × 2 = 2

So, if the divisor is 1 and the quotient is 2, the dividend is 2.
