What value divided by 18 equals 45?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 18 and the quotient 45?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 18 × 45 = 810
To prove this, let's compute 810 divided by 18:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 18 gives a result of 45 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 45, the dividend is 810.
