What value divided by 52 equals 15?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 52 and the quotient 15?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 52 × 15 = 780
To prove this, let's compute 780 divided by 52:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 52 gives a result of 15 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 52:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 52 and the quotient is 15, the dividend is 780.
