What value divided by 31 equals 18?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 31 and the quotient 18?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 31 × 18 = 558
To prove this, let's compute 558 divided by 31:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 31 gives a result of 18 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 31:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 31 and the quotient is 18, the dividend is 558.
