Solve for c ab=cde

$a b = c d e$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as $c d e = a b$ .

$c d e = a b$

Step 2

Divide each term in $c d e = a b$ by $d e$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $c d e = a b$ by $d e$ .

$\frac{c d e}{d e} = \frac{a b}{d e}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $d$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{c d e}{d e} = \frac{a b}{d e}$

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{c e}{e} = \frac{a b}{d e}$

Cancel the common factor of $e$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{c e}{e} = \frac{a b}{d e}$

Divide $c$ by $1$ .

$c = \frac{a b}{d e}$
