What value divided by 15 equals 53?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 15 and the quotient 53?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 15 × 53 = 795

To prove this, let's compute 795 divided by 15: 795 15 = 53

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 15 gives a result of 53 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 15 = 53

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 15: 15 x 15 = 15 × 53
  2. 15 x 15 is equivalent to 15 15 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 15 × 53 = 795

So, if the divisor is 15 and the quotient is 53, the dividend is 795.
