What value divided by 25 equals 16?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 25 and the quotient 16?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 25 × 16 = 400
To prove this, let's compute 400 divided by 25:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 25 gives a result of 16 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 25:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 25 and the quotient is 16, the dividend is 400.
