What value divided by 21 equals 23?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 21 and the quotient 23?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 21 × 23 = 483

To prove this, let's compute 483 divided by 21: 483 21 = 23

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 21 gives a result of 23 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 21 = 23

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 21: 21 x 21 = 21 × 23
  2. 21 x 21 is equivalent to 21 21 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 21 × 23 = 483

So, if the divisor is 21 and the quotient is 23, the dividend is 483.
