What value divided by 46 equals 5?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 46 and the quotient 5?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 46 × 5 = 230
To prove this, let's compute 230 divided by 46:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 46 gives a result of 5 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 46:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 46 and the quotient is 5, the dividend is 230.
