What value divided by 18 equals 100?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 18 and the quotient 100?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 18 × 100 = 1800
To prove this, let's compute 1800 divided by 18:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 18 gives a result of 100 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 18:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 18 and the quotient is 100, the dividend is 1800.
