What value divided by 78 equals 4?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 78 and the quotient 4?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 78 × 4 = 312
To prove this, let's compute 312 divided by 78:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 78 gives a result of 4 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 78:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 78 and the quotient is 4, the dividend is 312.
