What value divided by 6 equals 5?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 6 and the quotient 5?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 6 × 5 = 30

To prove this, let's compute 30 divided by 6: 30 6 = 5

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 6 gives a result of 5 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 6 = 5

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 6: 6 x 6 = 6 × 5
  2. 6 x 6 is equivalent to 6 6 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 6 × 5 = 30

So, if the divisor is 6 and the quotient is 5, the dividend is 30.
