What value divided by 56 equals 5?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 56 and the quotient 5?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 56 × 5 = 280

To prove this, let's compute 280 divided by 56: 280 56 = 5

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 56 gives a result of 5 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 56 = 5

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 56: 56 x 56 = 56 × 5
  2. 56 x 56 is equivalent to 56 56 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 56 × 5 = 280

So, if the divisor is 56 and the quotient is 5, the dividend is 280.
