What value divided by 15 equals 51?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 15 and the quotient 51?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 15 × 51 = 765

To prove this, let's compute 765 divided by 15: 765 15 = 51

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 15 gives a result of 51 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 15 = 51

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 15: 15 x 15 = 15 × 51
  2. 15 x 15 is equivalent to 15 15 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 15 × 51 = 765

So, if the divisor is 15 and the quotient is 51, the dividend is 765.
