What value divided by 16 equals 77?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 16 and the quotient 77?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 16 × 77 = 1232
To prove this, let's compute 1232 divided by 16:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 16 gives a result of 77 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 77, the dividend is 1232.
