What value divided by 23 equals 36?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 23 and the quotient 36?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 23 × 36 = 828
To prove this, let's compute 828 divided by 23:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 23 gives a result of 36 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 36, the dividend is 828.
