What value divided by 23 equals 16?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 23 and the quotient 16?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 23 × 16 = 368

To prove this, let's compute 368 divided by 23: 368 23 = 16

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 23 gives a result of 16 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 23 = 16

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 23: 23 x 23 = 23 × 16
  2. 23 x 23 is equivalent to 23 23 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 23 × 16 = 368

So, if the divisor is 23 and the quotient is 16, the dividend is 368.
