What value divided by 16 equals 96?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 16 and the quotient 96?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 16 × 96 = 1536
To prove this, let's compute 1536 divided by 16:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 16 gives a result of 96 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 96, the dividend is 1536.
