What value divided by 75 equals 2?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 75 and the quotient 2?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 75 × 2 = 150
To prove this, let's compute 150 divided by 75:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 75 gives a result of 2 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 75:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 75 and the quotient is 2, the dividend is 150.
