What value divided by 20 equals 14?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 20 and the quotient 14?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 20 × 14 = 280
To prove this, let's compute 280 divided by 20:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 20 gives a result of 14 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 20:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 20 and the quotient is 14, the dividend is 280.
