What value divided by 21 equals 56?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 21 and the quotient 56?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 21 × 56 = 1176

To prove this, let's compute 1176 divided by 21: 1176 21 = 56

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 21 gives a result of 56 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 21 = 56

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 21: 21 x 21 = 21 × 56
  2. 21 x 21 is equivalent to 21 21 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 21 × 56 = 1176

So, if the divisor is 21 and the quotient is 56, the dividend is 1176.
