What value divided by 10 equals 8?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 10 and the quotient 8?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 10 × 8 = 80
To prove this, let's compute 80 divided by 10:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 10 gives a result of 8 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 8, the dividend is 80.
