What value divided by 83 equals 1?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 83 and the quotient 1?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 83 × 1 = 83
To prove this, let's compute 83 divided by 83:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 83 gives a result of 1 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 83:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 83 and the quotient is 1, the dividend is 83.
