What value divided by 14 equals 48?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 14 and the quotient 48?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 14 × 48 = 672
To prove this, let's compute 672 divided by 14:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 14 gives a result of 48 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 48, the dividend is 672.
