What value divided by 48 equals 6?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 48 and the quotient 6?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 48 × 6 = 288
To prove this, let's compute 288 divided by 48:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 48 gives a result of 6 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 48:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 48 and the quotient is 6, the dividend is 288.
