What value divided by 7 equals 32?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 7 and the quotient 32?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 7 × 32 = 224
To prove this, let's compute 224 divided by 7:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 7 gives a result of 32 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 7:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 7 and the quotient is 32, the dividend is 224.
