What value divided by 14 equals 20?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 14 and the quotient 20?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 14 × 20 = 280
To prove this, let's compute 280 divided by 14:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 14 gives a result of 20 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 14:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 14 and the quotient is 20, the dividend is 280.
