What value divided by 36 equals 60?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 36 and the quotient 60?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 36 × 60 = 2160
To prove this, let's compute 2160 divided by 36:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 36 gives a result of 60 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 60, the dividend is 2160.
