What value divided by 28 equals 6?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 28 and the quotient 6?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 28 × 6 = 168
To prove this, let's compute 168 divided by 28:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 28 gives a result of 6 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 6, the dividend is 168.
