What value divided by 11 equals 47?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 11 and the quotient 47?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 11 × 47 = 517
To prove this, let's compute 517 divided by 11:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 11 gives a result of 47 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 11:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 11 and the quotient is 47, the dividend is 517.
