What value divided by 20 equals 43?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 20 and the quotient 43?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 20 × 43 = 860
To prove this, let's compute 860 divided by 20:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 20 gives a result of 43 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 43, the dividend is 860.
