What value divided by 6 equals 82?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 6 and the quotient 82?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 6 × 82 = 492
To prove this, let's compute 492 divided by 6:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 6 gives a result of 82 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 82, the dividend is 492.
