What value divided by 16 equals 21?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 16 and the quotient 21?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 16 × 21 = 336

To prove this, let's compute 336 divided by 16: 336 16 = 21

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 16 gives a result of 21 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 16 = 21

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 16: 16 x 16 = 16 × 21
  2. 16 x 16 is equivalent to 16 16 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 16 × 21 = 336

So, if the divisor is 16 and the quotient is 21, the dividend is 336.
