What value divided by 37 equals 20?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 37 and the quotient 20?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 37 × 20 = 740
To prove this, let's compute 740 divided by 37:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 37 gives a result of 20 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 37:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 37 and the quotient is 20, the dividend is 740.
