What value divided by 10 equals 28?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 10 and the quotient 28?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 10 × 28 = 280
To prove this, let's compute 280 divided by 10:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 10 gives a result of 28 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 28, the dividend is 280.
