What value divided by 52 equals 5?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 52 and the quotient 5?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 52 × 5 = 260
To prove this, let's compute 260 divided by 52:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 52 gives a result of 5 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 5, the dividend is 260.
