What value divided by 45 equals 20?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 45 and the quotient 20?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 45 × 20 = 900

To prove this, let's compute 900 divided by 45: 900 45 = 20

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 45 gives a result of 20 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 45 = 20

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 45: 45 x 45 = 45 × 20
  2. 45 x 45 is equivalent to 45 45 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 45 × 20 = 900

So, if the divisor is 45 and the quotient is 20, the dividend is 900.
