What value divided by 78 equals 71?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 78 and the quotient 71?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 78 × 71 = 5538

To prove this, let's compute 5538 divided by 78: 5538 78 = 71

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 78 gives a result of 71 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 78 = 71

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 78: 78 x 78 = 78 × 71
  2. 78 x 78 is equivalent to 78 78 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 78 × 71 = 5538

So, if the divisor is 78 and the quotient is 71, the dividend is 5538.
