What value divided by 5 equals 14?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 5 and the quotient 14?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 5 × 14 = 70
To prove this, let's compute 70 divided by 5:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 5 gives a result of 14 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 5:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 5 and the quotient is 14, the dividend is 70.
