What value divided by 80 equals 56?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 80 and the quotient 56?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 80 × 56 = 4480
To prove this, let's compute 4480 divided by 80:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 80 gives a result of 56 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 80:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 80 and the quotient is 56, the dividend is 4480.
