What value divided by 16 equals 15?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 16 and the quotient 15?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 16 × 15 = 240

To prove this, let's compute 240 divided by 16: 240 16 = 15

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 16 gives a result of 15 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 16 = 15

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 16: 16 x 16 = 16 × 15
  2. 16 x 16 is equivalent to 16 16 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 16 × 15 = 240

So, if the divisor is 16 and the quotient is 15, the dividend is 240.
