What value divided by 30 equals 14?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 30 and the quotient 14?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 30 × 14 = 420
To prove this, let's compute 420 divided by 30:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 30 gives a result of 14 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 14, the dividend is 420.
