What value divided by 15 equals 57?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 15 and the quotient 57?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 15 × 57 = 855

To prove this, let's compute 855 divided by 15: 855 15 = 57

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 15 gives a result of 57 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 15 = 57

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 15: 15 x 15 = 15 × 57
  2. 15 x 15 is equivalent to 15 15 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 15 × 57 = 855

So, if the divisor is 15 and the quotient is 57, the dividend is 855.
