What value divided by 18 equals 49?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 18 and the quotient 49?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 18 × 49 = 882
To prove this, let's compute 882 divided by 18:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 18 gives a result of 49 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 49, the dividend is 882.
