What value divided by 32 equals 10?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 32 and the quotient 10?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 32 × 10 = 320
To prove this, let's compute 320 divided by 32:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 32 gives a result of 10 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 32:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 32 and the quotient is 10, the dividend is 320.
