What value divided by 36 equals 61?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 36 and the quotient 61?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 36 × 61 = 2196
To prove this, let's compute 2196 divided by 36:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 36 gives a result of 61 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 61, the dividend is 2196.
