What value divided by 54 equals 2?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 54 and the quotient 2?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 54 × 2 = 108
To prove this, let's compute 108 divided by 54:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 54 gives a result of 2 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 2, the dividend is 108.
