What value divided by 15 equals 16?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 15 and the quotient 16?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 15 × 16 = 240

To prove this, let's compute 240 divided by 15: 240 15 = 16

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 15 gives a result of 16 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 15 = 16

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 15: 15 x 15 = 15 × 16
  2. 15 x 15 is equivalent to 15 15 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 15 × 16 = 240

So, if the divisor is 15 and the quotient is 16, the dividend is 240.
