What value divided by 15 equals 32?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 15 and the quotient 32?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 15 × 32 = 480

To prove this, let's compute 480 divided by 15: 480 15 = 32

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 15 gives a result of 32 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 15 = 32

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 15: 15 x 15 = 15 × 32
  2. 15 x 15 is equivalent to 15 15 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 15 × 32 = 480

So, if the divisor is 15 and the quotient is 32, the dividend is 480.
