What value divided by 21 equals 48?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 21 and the quotient 48?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 21 × 48 = 1008

To prove this, let's compute 1008 divided by 21: 1008 21 = 48

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 21 gives a result of 48 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 21 = 48

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 21: 21 x 21 = 21 × 48
  2. 21 x 21 is equivalent to 21 21 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 21 × 48 = 1008

So, if the divisor is 21 and the quotient is 48, the dividend is 1008.
