What value divided by 61 equals 60?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 61 and the quotient 60?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 61 × 60 = 3660
To prove this, let's compute 3660 divided by 61:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 61 gives a result of 60 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 61:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 61 and the quotient is 60, the dividend is 3660.
