What value divided by 23 equals 50?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 23 and the quotient 50?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 23 × 50 = 1150
To prove this, let's compute 1150 divided by 23:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 23 gives a result of 50 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 50, the dividend is 1150.
