What value divided by 16 equals 9?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 16 and the quotient 9?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 16 × 9 = 144

To prove this, let's compute 144 divided by 16: 144 16 = 9

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 16 gives a result of 9 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 16 = 9

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 16: 16 x 16 = 16 × 9
  2. 16 x 16 is equivalent to 16 16 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 16 × 9 = 144

So, if the divisor is 16 and the quotient is 9, the dividend is 144.
