What value divided by 14 equals 18?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 14 and the quotient 18?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 14 × 18 = 252
To prove this, let's compute 252 divided by 14:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 14 gives a result of 18 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 14:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 14 and the quotient is 18, the dividend is 252.
