What value divided by 25 equals 71?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 25 and the quotient 71?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 25 × 71 = 1775
To prove this, let's compute 1775 divided by 25:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 25 gives a result of 71 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 71, the dividend is 1775.
