What value divided by 9 equals 38?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 9 and the quotient 38?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 9 × 38 = 342
To prove this, let's compute 342 divided by 9:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 9 gives a result of 38 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 9:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 9 and the quotient is 38, the dividend is 342.
