Question

If the dividend is 415 and the quotient is 83 what is the divisor

Answer 1

the divisor = 5

Explanation:

let the divisor be = x

dividend = number to be divided = 415

quotient = result of the division = 83

dividend/divisor = quotient

415/x = 83

cross multiply:

415 = 83x

Divide both sides by 83:

83x/83 = 415/83

x = 5

Hence, the divisor = 5
