What value divided by 16 equals 48?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 16 and the quotient 48?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 16 × 48 = 768

To prove this, let's compute 768 divided by 16: 768 16 = 48

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 16 gives a result of 48 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 16 = 48

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 16: 16 x 16 = 16 × 48
  2. 16 x 16 is equivalent to 16 16 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 16 × 48 = 768

So, if the divisor is 16 and the quotient is 48, the dividend is 768.
