What value divided by 23 equals 21?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 23 and the quotient 21?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 23 × 21 = 483

To prove this, let's compute 483 divided by 23: 483 23 = 21

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 23 gives a result of 21 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 23 = 21

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 23: 23 x 23 = 23 × 21
  2. 23 x 23 is equivalent to 23 23 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 23 × 21 = 483

So, if the divisor is 23 and the quotient is 21, the dividend is 483.
