What value divided by 35 equals 78?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 35 and the quotient 78?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 35 × 78 = 2730
To prove this, let's compute 2730 divided by 35:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 35 gives a result of 78 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 78, the dividend is 2730.
