Yeah! I agree with Abdul Rais.

How is it please anyone explains?

Is there any simple method?

Let take the divisor be x.

Then.

x = 10 times the quotient and also.
x = 5 times the remainder.

x = 5*46 (46 is the given remainder value).
x = 230.

Substitute the value of x in quotient equation.

x = 10*quotient.

Quotient = x/10 = 230/10 = 23.

We know that,

Dividend = (Divisor x Quotient) + Remainder.

= (230 x 23) + 46.
= 5290 + 46.
= 5336.

NOTE: example for dividend formula.

If we take 11/2.

11 is called as dividend and.
2 is called as divisor.

Quotient is 5.
Remainder is 1.

So,

11= (2*5)+1.

Dividend = (Divisor x Quotient)+Remainder.

Hope you all understand:).

No it's not .

5*remainder=divisor and 10*quotient= divisor
==>5*remainder=10*quotient.

In the above problem,
5*46=diviser==>230=diviser.

Then,
10*quotient=230==>quotient=23.

The divisor is 10 times the quotient and 5 times the remainder.

Its mean.

Divisor=10*quotient+5*remainder.

If I am wrong, then please correct me.
