What value divided by 6 equals 43?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 6 and the quotient 43?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 6 × 43 = 258
To prove this, let's compute 258 divided by 6:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 6 gives a result of 43 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 6:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 6 and the quotient is 43, the dividend is 258.
