What value divided by 9 equals 4?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 9 and the quotient 4?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 9 × 4 = 36
To prove this, let's compute 36 divided by 9:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 9 gives a result of 4 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 4, the dividend is 36.
