What value divided by 49 equals 5?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 49 and the quotient 5?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 49 × 5 = 245
To prove this, let's compute 245 divided by 49:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 49 gives a result of 5 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 49:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 49 and the quotient is 5, the dividend is 245.
