What value divided by 25 equals 3?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 25 and the quotient 3?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 25 × 3 = 75
To prove this, let's compute 75 divided by 25:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 25 gives a result of 3 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 3, the dividend is 75.
