What value divided by 15 equals 48?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 15 and the quotient 48?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 15 × 48 = 720

To prove this, let's compute 720 divided by 15: 720 15 = 48

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 15 gives a result of 48 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 15 = 48

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 15: 15 x 15 = 15 × 48
  2. 15 x 15 is equivalent to 15 15 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 15 × 48 = 720

So, if the divisor is 15 and the quotient is 48, the dividend is 720.
