What value divided by 1 equals 5?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 1 and the quotient 5?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 1 × 5 = 5

To prove this, let's compute 5 divided by 1: 5 1 = 5

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 1 gives a result of 5 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 1 = 5

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 1: 1 x 1 = 1 × 5
  2. 1 x 1 is equivalent to 1 1 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 1 × 5 = 5

So, if the divisor is 1 and the quotient is 5, the dividend is 5.
