What value divided by 13 equals 83?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 13 and the quotient 83?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 13 × 83 = 1079
To prove this, let's compute 1079 divided by 13:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 13 gives a result of 83 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 13:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 13 and the quotient is 83, the dividend is 1079.
