What value divided by 15 equals 79?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 15 and the quotient 79?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 15 × 79 = 1185

To prove this, let's compute 1185 divided by 15: 1185 15 = 79

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 15 gives a result of 79 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 15 = 79

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 15: 15 x 15 = 15 × 79
  2. 15 x 15 is equivalent to 15 15 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 15 × 79 = 1185

So, if the divisor is 15 and the quotient is 79, the dividend is 1185.
