What value divided by 32 equals 9?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 32 and the quotient 9?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 32 × 9 = 288
To prove this, let's compute 288 divided by 32:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 32 gives a result of 9 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 9, the dividend is 288.
