What value divided by 36 equals 14?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 36 and the quotient 14?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 36 × 14 = 504
To prove this, let's compute 504 divided by 36:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 36 gives a result of 14 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 36:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 36 and the quotient is 14, the dividend is 504.
