What value divided by 21 equals 47?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 21 and the quotient 47?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 21 × 47 = 987

To prove this, let's compute 987 divided by 21: 987 21 = 47

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 21 gives a result of 47 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 21 = 47

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 21: 21 x 21 = 21 × 47
  2. 21 x 21 is equivalent to 21 21 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 21 × 47 = 987

So, if the divisor is 21 and the quotient is 47, the dividend is 987.
