What value divided by 84 equals 20?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 84 and the quotient 20?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 84 × 20 = 1680
To prove this, let's compute 1680 divided by 84:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 84 gives a result of 20 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 84:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 84 and the quotient is 20, the dividend is 1680.
