What value divided by 11 equals 21?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 11 and the quotient 21?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 11 × 21 = 231
To prove this, let's compute 231 divided by 11:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 11 gives a result of 21 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 11:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 11 and the quotient is 21, the dividend is 231.
