What value divided by 15 equals 83?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 15 and the quotient 83?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 15 × 83 = 1245

To prove this, let's compute 1245 divided by 15: 1245 15 = 83

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 15 gives a result of 83 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 15 = 83

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 15: 15 x 15 = 15 × 83
  2. 15 x 15 is equivalent to 15 15 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 15 × 83 = 1245

So, if the divisor is 15 and the quotient is 83, the dividend is 1245.
