What value divided by 3 equals 45?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 3 and the quotient 45?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 3 × 45 = 135

To prove this, let's compute 135 divided by 3: 135 3 = 45

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 3 gives a result of 45 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 3 = 45

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 3: 3 x 3 = 3 × 45
  2. 3 x 3 is equivalent to 3 3 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 3 × 45 = 135

So, if the divisor is 3 and the quotient is 45, the dividend is 135.
