What value divided by 18 equals 24?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 18 and the quotient 24?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 18 × 24 = 432
To prove this, let's compute 432 divided by 18:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 18 gives a result of 24 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 24, the dividend is 432.
