What value divided by 10 equals 53?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 10 and the quotient 53?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 10 × 53 = 530
To prove this, let's compute 530 divided by 10:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 10 gives a result of 53 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 53, the dividend is 530.
