What value divided by 32 equals 80?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 32 and the quotient 80?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 32 × 80 = 2560
To prove this, let's compute 2560 divided by 32:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 32 gives a result of 80 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 80, the dividend is 2560.
