What value divided by 31 equals 8?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 31 and the quotient 8?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 31 × 8 = 248
To prove this, let's compute 248 divided by 31:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 31 gives a result of 8 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 8, the dividend is 248.
