What value divided by 20 equals 79?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 20 and the quotient 79?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 20 × 79 = 1580

To prove this, let's compute 1580 divided by 20: 1580 20 = 79

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 20 gives a result of 79 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 20 = 79

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 20: 20 x 20 = 20 × 79
  2. 20 x 20 is equivalent to 20 20 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 20 × 79 = 1580

So, if the divisor is 20 and the quotient is 79, the dividend is 1580.
