What value divided by 26 equals 6?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 26 and the quotient 6?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 26 × 6 = 156
To prove this, let's compute 156 divided by 26:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 26 gives a result of 6 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 26:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 26 and the quotient is 6, the dividend is 156.
