What value divided by 15 equals 56?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 15 and the quotient 56?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 15 × 56 = 840

To prove this, let's compute 840 divided by 15: 840 15 = 56

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 15 gives a result of 56 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 15 = 56

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 15: 15 x 15 = 15 × 56
  2. 15 x 15 is equivalent to 15 15 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 15 × 56 = 840

So, if the divisor is 15 and the quotient is 56, the dividend is 840.
