What value divided by 15 equals 28?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 15 and the quotient 28?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 15 × 28 = 420

To prove this, let's compute 420 divided by 15: 420 15 = 28

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 15 gives a result of 28 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 15 = 28

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 15: 15 x 15 = 15 × 28
  2. 15 x 15 is equivalent to 15 15 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 15 × 28 = 420

So, if the divisor is 15 and the quotient is 28, the dividend is 420.
