What value divided by 28 equals 51?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 28 and the quotient 51?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 28 × 51 = 1428
To prove this, let's compute 1428 divided by 28:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 28 gives a result of 51 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 51, the dividend is 1428.
