What value divided by 10 equals 51?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 10 and the quotient 51?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 10 × 51 = 510

To prove this, let's compute 510 divided by 10: 510 10 = 51

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 10 gives a result of 51 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 10 = 51

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 10: 10 x 10 = 10 × 51
  2. 10 x 10 is equivalent to 10 10 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 10 × 51 = 510

So, if the divisor is 10 and the quotient is 51, the dividend is 510.
