What value divided by 29 equals 5?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 29 and the quotient 5?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 29 × 5 = 145
To prove this, let's compute 145 divided by 29:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 29 gives a result of 5 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 29:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 29 and the quotient is 5, the dividend is 145.
