Question

Which of the following option is correct?

• A. Dividend = Divisor x Quotient + Remainder
• B. Divisor = Dividend x Quotient + Remainder
• C. Quotient = Divisor x Dividend + Remainder

Answer 1

The correct option is A Dividend = Divisor x Quotient + Remainder

Option "a" is the correct answer. Let's understand the formula with an example.
Divide 18 by 3.
Dividend $=20$
Divisor $=3$
Quotient $=6$
Remainder $=2$

Let's find the dividend using the formula
Dividend = Divisor x Quotient + Remainder
$=3\times 6+2=20$

It is verified using a formula that dividend is equal to 20
