What value divided by 20 equals 44?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 20 and the quotient 44?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 20 × 44 = 880
To prove this, let's compute 880 divided by 20:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 20 gives a result of 44 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 44, the dividend is 880.
