What value divided by 19 equals 23?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 19 and the quotient 23?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 19 × 23 = 437
To prove this, let's compute 437 divided by 19:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 19 gives a result of 23 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 19:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 19 and the quotient is 23, the dividend is 437.
