What value divided by 5 equals 79?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 5 and the quotient 79?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 5 × 79 = 395

To prove this, let's compute 395 divided by 5: 395 5 = 79

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 5 gives a result of 79 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 5 = 79

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 5: 5 x 5 = 5 × 79
  2. 5 x 5 is equivalent to 5 5 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 5 × 79 = 395

So, if the divisor is 5 and the quotient is 79, the dividend is 395.
