What value divided by 30 equals 1?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 30 and the quotient 1?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 30 × 1 = 30
To prove this, let's compute 30 divided by 30:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 30 gives a result of 1 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 30:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 30 and the quotient is 1, the dividend is 30.
