What value divided by 16 equals 18?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 16 and the quotient 18?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 16 × 18 = 288

To prove this, let's compute 288 divided by 16: 288 16 = 18

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 16 gives a result of 18 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 16 = 18

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 16: 16 x 16 = 16 × 18
  2. 16 x 16 is equivalent to 16 16 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 16 × 18 = 288

So, if the divisor is 16 and the quotient is 18, the dividend is 288.
