What value divided by 16 equals 28?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 16 and the quotient 28?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 16 × 28 = 448
To prove this, let's compute 448 divided by 16:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 16 gives a result of 28 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 16:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 16 and the quotient is 28, the dividend is 448.
