What value divided by 10 equals 74?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 10 and the quotient 74?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 10 × 74 = 740
To prove this, let's compute 740 divided by 10:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 10 gives a result of 74 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 74, the dividend is 740.
