What value divided by 7 equals 36?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 7 and the quotient 36?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 7 × 36 = 252

To prove this, let's compute 252 divided by 7: 252 7 = 36

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 7 gives a result of 36 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 7 = 36

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 7: 7 x 7 = 7 × 36
  2. 7 x 7 is equivalent to 7 7 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 7 × 36 = 252

So, if the divisor is 7 and the quotient is 36, the dividend is 252.
