What value divided by 35 equals 15?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 35 and the quotient 15?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 35 × 15 = 525
To prove this, let's compute 525 divided by 35:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 35 gives a result of 15 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 35:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 35 and the quotient is 15, the dividend is 525.
