What value divided by 9 equals 5?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 9 and the quotient 5?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 9 × 5 = 45

To prove this, let's compute 45 divided by 9: 45 9 = 5

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 9 gives a result of 5 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 9 = 5

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 9: 9 x 9 = 9 × 5
  2. 9 x 9 is equivalent to 9 9 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 9 × 5 = 45

So, if the divisor is 9 and the quotient is 5, the dividend is 45.
