What value divided by 31 equals 60?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 31 and the quotient 60?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 31 × 60 = 1860
To prove this, let's compute 1860 divided by 31:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 31 gives a result of 60 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 60, the dividend is 1860.
