What value divided by 28 equals 10?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 28 and the quotient 10?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 28 × 10 = 280
To prove this, let's compute 280 divided by 28:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 28 gives a result of 10 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 28:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 28 and the quotient is 10, the dividend is 280.
