What value divided by 15 equals 1?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 15 and the quotient 1?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 15 × 1 = 15
To prove this, let's compute 15 divided by 15:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 15 gives a result of 1 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 15:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 15 and the quotient is 1, the dividend is 15.
