What value divided by 21 equals 26?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 21 and the quotient 26?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 21 × 26 = 546
To prove this, let's compute 546 divided by 21:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 21 gives a result of 26 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 26, the dividend is 546.
