What value divided by 15 equals 78?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 15 and the quotient 78?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 15 × 78 = 1170

To prove this, let's compute 1170 divided by 15: 1170 15 = 78

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 15 gives a result of 78 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 15 = 78

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 15: 15 x 15 = 15 × 78
  2. 15 x 15 is equivalent to 15 15 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 15 × 78 = 1170

So, if the divisor is 15 and the quotient is 78, the dividend is 1170.
