What value divided by 18 equals 20?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 18 and the quotient 20?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 18 × 20 = 360
To prove this, let's compute 360 divided by 18:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 18 gives a result of 20 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 20, the dividend is 360.
