What value divided by 21 equals 38?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 21 and the quotient 38?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 21 × 38 = 798

To prove this, let's compute 798 divided by 21: 798 21 = 38

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 21 gives a result of 38 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 21 = 38

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 21: 21 x 21 = 21 × 38
  2. 21 x 21 is equivalent to 21 21 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 21 × 38 = 798

So, if the divisor is 21 and the quotient is 38, the dividend is 798.
