What value divided by 13 equals 9?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 13 and the quotient 9?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 13 × 9 = 117
To prove this, let's compute 117 divided by 13:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 13 gives a result of 9 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 9, the dividend is 117.
