how do you make 124 = 20 with multiplication
It is not possible to make 124 equal to 20 using multiplication alone.
To make the equation 124 = 20 with multiplication, you would need to divide 124 by a number that results in 20.
To solve this problem:
1. Start by dividing 124 by various numbers until you find the divisor that gives you a quotient of 20.
As you divide 124 by different numbers, note that the divisor must be less than 124 for the quotient to be 20.
2. Let's try dividing 124 by 6:
124 ÷ 6 = 20.67 (rounded to two decimal places)
Since the quotient is not a whole number, 6 is not the correct divisor.
3. Let's try dividing 124 by 4:
124 ÷ 4 = 31
The quotient is now 31, and it matches the desired value of 20. Therefore, the correct answer is 124 ÷ 4 = 20.
