What value divided by 31 equals 58?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 31 and the quotient 58?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 31 × 58 = 1798
To prove this, let's compute 1798 divided by 31:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 31 gives a result of 58 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 58, the dividend is 1798.
