What value divided by 39 equals 6?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 39 and the quotient 6?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 39 × 6 = 234
To prove this, let's compute 234 divided by 39:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 39 gives a result of 6 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 6, the dividend is 234.
