What value divided by 36 equals 80?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 36 and the quotient 80?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 36 × 80 = 2880
To prove this, let's compute 2880 divided by 36:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 36 gives a result of 80 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 80, the dividend is 2880.
