What value divided by 3 equals 50?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 3 and the quotient 50?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 3 × 50 = 150

To prove this, let's compute 150 divided by 3: 150 3 = 50

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 3 gives a result of 50 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 3 = 50

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 3: 3 x 3 = 3 × 50
  2. 3 x 3 is equivalent to 3 3 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 3 × 50 = 150

So, if the divisor is 3 and the quotient is 50, the dividend is 150.
