What value divided by 3 equals 63?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 3 and the quotient 63?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 3 × 63 = 189
To prove this, let's compute 189 divided by 3:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 3 gives a result of 63 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 63, the dividend is 189.
