What value divided by 84 equals 5?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 84 × 5 = 420

To prove this, let's compute 420 divided by 84: $\frac{420}{84} = 5$

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 84 gives a result of 5 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{x}{84} = 5$

We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 84: $\frac{84 x}{84} = 84 \times 5$
$\frac{84 x}{84}$ is equivalent to $\frac{84}{84} x$ , which simplifies to $1 x$ (or just $x$ ).
Thus: $x = 84 \times 5 = 420$

So, if the divisor is 84 and the quotient is 5, the dividend is 420.
