What value divided by 56 equals 90?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 56 and the quotient 90?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 56 × 90 = 5040
To prove this, let's compute 5040 divided by 56:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 56 gives a result of 90 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 56:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 56 and the quotient is 90, the dividend is 5040.
