What value divided by 54 equals 20?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 54 and the quotient 20?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 54 × 20 = 1080
To prove this, let's compute 1080 divided by 54:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 54 gives a result of 20 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 20, the dividend is 1080.
