What value divided by 9 equals 45?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 9 and the quotient 45?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 9 × 45 = 405

To prove this, let's compute 405 divided by 9: 405 9 = 45

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 9 gives a result of 45 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 9 = 45

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 9: 9 x 9 = 9 × 45
  2. 9 x 9 is equivalent to 9 9 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 9 × 45 = 405

So, if the divisor is 9 and the quotient is 45, the dividend is 405.
