What value divided by 3 equals 58?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 3 and the quotient 58?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 3 × 58 = 174
To prove this, let's compute 174 divided by 3:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 3 gives a result of 58 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 3:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 3 and the quotient is 58, the dividend is 174.
