What value divided by 21 equals 11?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 21 and the quotient 11?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 21 × 11 = 231
To prove this, let's compute 231 divided by 21:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 21 gives a result of 11 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 21:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 21 and the quotient is 11, the dividend is 231.
