What value divided by 16 equals 32?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 16 and the quotient 32?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 16 × 32 = 512

To prove this, let's compute 512 divided by 16: 512 16 = 32

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 16 gives a result of 32 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 16 = 32

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 16: 16 x 16 = 16 × 32
  2. 16 x 16 is equivalent to 16 16 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 16 × 32 = 512

So, if the divisor is 16 and the quotient is 32, the dividend is 512.
