What value divided by 38 equals 56?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 38 and the quotient 56?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 38 × 56 = 2128
To prove this, let's compute 2128 divided by 38:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 38 gives a result of 56 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 56, the dividend is 2128.
