What value divided by 10 equals 39?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 10 and the quotient 39?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 10 × 39 = 390
To prove this, let's compute 390 divided by 10:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 10 gives a result of 39 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 39, the dividend is 390.
