What value divided by 10 equals 16?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 10 and the quotient 16?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 10 × 16 = 160
To prove this, let's compute 160 divided by 10:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 10 gives a result of 16 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 10:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 10 and the quotient is 16, the dividend is 160.
