What value divided by 38 equals 37?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 38 and the quotient 37?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 38 × 37 = 1406
To prove this, let's compute 1406 divided by 38:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 38 gives a result of 37 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 38:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 38 and the quotient is 37, the dividend is 1406.
