What value divided by 98 equals 5?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 98 and the quotient 5?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 98 × 5 = 490

To prove this, let's compute 490 divided by 98: 490 98 = 5

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 98 gives a result of 5 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 98 = 5

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 98: 98 x 98 = 98 × 5
  2. 98 x 98 is equivalent to 98 98 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 98 × 5 = 490

So, if the divisor is 98 and the quotient is 5, the dividend is 490.
