What value divided by 53 equals 10?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 53 and the quotient 10?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 53 × 10 = 530
To prove this, let's compute 530 divided by 53:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 53 gives a result of 10 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 53:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 53 and the quotient is 10, the dividend is 530.
