What value divided by 84 equals 4?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 84 and the quotient 4?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 84 × 4 = 336
To prove this, let's compute 336 divided by 84:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 84 gives a result of 4 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 4, the dividend is 336.
