What value divided by 15 equals 59?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 15 and the quotient 59?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 15 × 59 = 885

To prove this, let's compute 885 divided by 15: 885 15 = 59

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 15 gives a result of 59 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 15 = 59

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 15: 15 x 15 = 15 × 59
  2. 15 x 15 is equivalent to 15 15 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 15 × 59 = 885

So, if the divisor is 15 and the quotient is 59, the dividend is 885.
