| 2500 | × | 1 4 | × | 30 | = | 4200 | x | × | 18 |
| Left side of the equation = | 18750 |
| 18750 | = | 4200 | x | × | 18 |
| Right side of the equation = | 75600 | x |
| 18750 | = | 75600 | x |
| - | 75600 | x | = | - | 18750 |
| 18750 | = | 75600 | x |
| 75600 | x | = | 18750 |
| x | = | 18750 | ÷ | 75600 |
| = | 18750 | × | 1 75600 |
| = | 125 | × | 1 504 |
