What value divided by 15 equals 98?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 15 and the quotient 98?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 15 × 98 = 1470
To prove this, let's compute 1470 divided by 15:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 15 gives a result of 98 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 15:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 15 and the quotient is 98, the dividend is 1470.
