What value divided by 50 equals 100?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 50 and the quotient 100?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 50 × 100 = 5000
To prove this, let's compute 5000 divided by 50:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 50 gives a result of 100 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 50:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 50 and the quotient is 100, the dividend is 5000.
