What value divided by 48 equals 5?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 48 and the quotient 5?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 48 × 5 = 240

To prove this, let's compute 240 divided by 48: 240 48 = 5

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 48 gives a result of 5 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 48 = 5

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 48: 48 x 48 = 48 × 5
  2. 48 x 48 is equivalent to 48 48 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 48 × 5 = 240

So, if the divisor is 48 and the quotient is 5, the dividend is 240.
