Question

On dividing a number by 53 we get 8 as quotient and 5 as remainder. Find the dividend

Answer 1

Hey !

Let the number be x.

Let us recall,
Dividend = (Divisor * Quotient) + Remainder

So,
Dividend = (53 * 8) + 5 = 424 + 5 = 429

So your answer is: 429

Hope it helps!
You can check it by simple division.

Answer 2

Answer:

429

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given question we can say,

• quotient= 8
• divisor=53
• remainder=5
• dividend= ?

As we know the formulae,

Dividend = (Quotient*divisor) + Remainder

Therefore,

Dividend = (8*53) + 5 = 424 + 5 = 429

Hence the dividend is: 429
