What value divided by 18 equals 16?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 18 and the quotient 16?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 18 × 16 = 288

To prove this, let's compute 288 divided by 18: 288 18 = 16

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 18 gives a result of 16 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 18 = 16

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 18: 18 x 18 = 18 × 16
  2. 18 x 18 is equivalent to 18 18 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 18 × 16 = 288

So, if the divisor is 18 and the quotient is 16, the dividend is 288.
