What value divided by 36 equals 20?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 36 and the quotient 20?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 36 × 20 = 720
To prove this, let's compute 720 divided by 36:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 36 gives a result of 20 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 20, the dividend is 720.
