What value divided by 16 equals 31?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 16 and the quotient 31?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 16 × 31 = 496

To prove this, let's compute 496 divided by 16: 496 16 = 31

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 16 gives a result of 31 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 16 = 31

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 16: 16 x 16 = 16 × 31
  2. 16 x 16 is equivalent to 16 16 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 16 × 31 = 496

So, if the divisor is 16 and the quotient is 31, the dividend is 496.
