What value divided by 8 equals 47?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 8 and the quotient 47?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 8 × 47 = 376
To prove this, let's compute 376 divided by 8:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 8 gives a result of 47 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 8:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 8 and the quotient is 47, the dividend is 376.
