What value divided by 23 equals 18?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 23 and the quotient 18?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 23 × 18 = 414
To prove this, let's compute 414 divided by 23:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 23 gives a result of 18 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 23:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 23 and the quotient is 18, the dividend is 414.
