What value divided by 16 equals 38?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 16 and the quotient 38?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 16 × 38 = 608
To prove this, let's compute 608 divided by 16:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 16 gives a result of 38 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 38, the dividend is 608.
