What value divided by 16 equals 5?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 16 and the quotient 5?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 16 × 5 = 80

To prove this, let's compute 80 divided by 16: 80 16 = 5

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 16 gives a result of 5 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 16 = 5

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 16: 16 x 16 = 16 × 5
  2. 16 x 16 is equivalent to 16 16 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 16 × 5 = 80

So, if the divisor is 16 and the quotient is 5, the dividend is 80.
