What value divided by 50 equals 8?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 50 and the quotient 8?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 50 × 8 = 400
To prove this, let's compute 400 divided by 50:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 50 gives a result of 8 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 8, the dividend is 400.
