What value divided by 57 equals 5?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 57 and the quotient 5?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 57 × 5 = 285
To prove this, let's compute 285 divided by 57:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 57 gives a result of 5 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 57:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 57 and the quotient is 5, the dividend is 285.
