What value divided by 13 equals 23?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 13 and the quotient 23?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 13 × 23 = 299
To prove this, let's compute 299 divided by 13:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 13 gives a result of 23 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 13:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 13 and the quotient is 23, the dividend is 299.
