What value divided by 100 equals 77?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 100 and the quotient 77?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 100 × 77 = 7700
To prove this, let's compute 7700 divided by 100:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 100 gives a result of 77 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 100:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 100 and the quotient is 77, the dividend is 7700.
