What value divided by 15 equals 8?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 15 and the quotient 8?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 15 × 8 = 120

To prove this, let's compute 120 divided by 15: 120 15 = 8

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 15 gives a result of 8 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 15 = 8

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 15: 15 x 15 = 15 × 8
  2. 15 x 15 is equivalent to 15 15 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 15 × 8 = 120

So, if the divisor is 15 and the quotient is 8, the dividend is 120.
