What value divided by 14 equals 23?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 14 and the quotient 23?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 14 × 23 = 322
To prove this, let's compute 322 divided by 14:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 14 gives a result of 23 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 23, the dividend is 322.
