What value divided by 36 equals 77?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 36 and the quotient 77?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 36 × 77 = 2772
To prove this, let's compute 2772 divided by 36:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 36 gives a result of 77 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 77, the dividend is 2772.
