What value divided by 5 equals 25?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 5 and the quotient 25?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 5 × 25 = 125

To prove this, let's compute 125 divided by 5: 125 5 = 25

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 5 gives a result of 25 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 5 = 25

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 5: 5 x 5 = 5 × 25
  2. 5 x 5 is equivalent to 5 5 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 5 × 25 = 125

So, if the divisor is 5 and the quotient is 25, the dividend is 125.
