What value divided by 23 equals 39?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 23 and the quotient 39?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 23 × 39 = 897

To prove this, let's compute 897 divided by 23: 897 23 = 39

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 23 gives a result of 39 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 23 = 39

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 23: 23 x 23 = 23 × 39
  2. 23 x 23 is equivalent to 23 23 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 23 × 39 = 897

So, if the divisor is 23 and the quotient is 39, the dividend is 897.
