What value divided by 54 equals 10?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 54 and the quotient 10?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 54 × 10 = 540
To prove this, let's compute 540 divided by 54:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 54 gives a result of 10 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 54:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 54 and the quotient is 10, the dividend is 540.
