What value divided by 99 equals 5?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 99 and the quotient 5?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 99 × 5 = 495

To prove this, let's compute 495 divided by 99: 495 99 = 5

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 99 gives a result of 5 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 99 = 5

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 99: 99 x 99 = 99 × 5
  2. 99 x 99 is equivalent to 99 99 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 99 × 5 = 495

So, if the divisor is 99 and the quotient is 5, the dividend is 495.
