What value divided by 15 equals 36?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 15 and the quotient 36?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 15 × 36 = 540

To prove this, let's compute 540 divided by 15: 540 15 = 36

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 15 gives a result of 36 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 15 = 36

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 15: 15 x 15 = 15 × 36
  2. 15 x 15 is equivalent to 15 15 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 15 × 36 = 540

So, if the divisor is 15 and the quotient is 36, the dividend is 540.
