What value divided by 5 equals 75?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 5 and the quotient 75?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 5 × 75 = 375

To prove this, let's compute 375 divided by 5: 375 5 = 75

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 5 gives a result of 75 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 5 = 75

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 5: 5 x 5 = 5 × 75
  2. 5 x 5 is equivalent to 5 5 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 5 × 75 = 375

So, if the divisor is 5 and the quotient is 75, the dividend is 375.
