What value divided by 15 equals 18?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 15 and the quotient 18?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 15 × 18 = 270

To prove this, let's compute 270 divided by 15: 270 15 = 18

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 15 gives a result of 18 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 15 = 18

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 15: 15 x 15 = 15 × 18
  2. 15 x 15 is equivalent to 15 15 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 15 × 18 = 270

So, if the divisor is 15 and the quotient is 18, the dividend is 270.
