What value divided by 39 equals 20?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 39 and the quotient 20?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 39 × 20 = 780
To prove this, let's compute 780 divided by 39:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 39 gives a result of 20 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 39:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 39 and the quotient is 20, the dividend is 780.
