What value divided by 30 equals 78?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 30 and the quotient 78?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 30 × 78 = 2340
To prove this, let's compute 2340 divided by 30:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 30 gives a result of 78 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 78, the dividend is 2340.
