What value divided by 21 equals 16?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 21 and the quotient 16?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 21 × 16 = 336

To prove this, let's compute 336 divided by 21: 336 21 = 16

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 21 gives a result of 16 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 21 = 16

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 21: 21 x 21 = 21 × 16
  2. 21 x 21 is equivalent to 21 21 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 21 × 16 = 336

So, if the divisor is 21 and the quotient is 16, the dividend is 336.
