What value divided by 51 equals 100?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 51 and the quotient 100?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 51 × 100 = 5100
To prove this, let's compute 5100 divided by 51:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 51 gives a result of 100 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 51:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 51 and the quotient is 100, the dividend is 5100.
