What value divided by 18 equals 19?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 18 and the quotient 19?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 18 × 19 = 342
To prove this, let's compute 342 divided by 18:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 18 gives a result of 19 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 18:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 18 and the quotient is 19, the dividend is 342.
