What value divided by 16 equals 57?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 16 and the quotient 57?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 16 × 57 = 912
To prove this, let's compute 912 divided by 16:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 16 gives a result of 57 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 57, the dividend is 912.
