What value divided by 15 equals 90?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 15 and the quotient 90?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 15 × 90 = 1350
To prove this, let's compute 1350 divided by 15:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 15 gives a result of 90 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 15:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 15 and the quotient is 90, the dividend is 1350.
