What value divided by 16 equals 56?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 16 and the quotient 56?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 16 × 56 = 896

To prove this, let's compute 896 divided by 16: 896 16 = 56

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 16 gives a result of 56 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 16 = 56

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 16: 16 x 16 = 16 × 56
  2. 16 x 16 is equivalent to 16 16 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 16 × 56 = 896

So, if the divisor is 16 and the quotient is 56, the dividend is 896.
