What value divided by 54 equals 38?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 54 and the quotient 38?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 54 × 38 = 2052
To prove this, let's compute 2052 divided by 54:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 54 gives a result of 38 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 38, the dividend is 2052.
