In a division sum, the divisor is 5 times the quotient and 4 times the remainder. If the remainder is 15, what is the dividend?
735
The remainder is given as 15, and the divisor is 4 times the remainder, so divisor \(= 4 \times 15 = 60\).
The divisor is also 5 times the quotient, so quotient \(= \frac{60}{5} = 12\).
Using the division rule, dividend \(= \text{divisor} \times \text{quotient} + \text{remainder}\).
So dividend \(= 60 \times 12 + 15 = 720 + 15 = 735\).
Hence, the dividend is 735.
