What value divided by 10 equals 58?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 10 and the quotient 58?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 10 × 58 = 580
To prove this, let's compute 580 divided by 10:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 10 gives a result of 58 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 58, the dividend is 580.
