What value divided by 23 equals 53?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 23 and the quotient 53?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 23 × 53 = 1219

To prove this, let's compute 1219 divided by 23: 1219 23 = 53

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 23 gives a result of 53 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 23 = 53

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 23: 23 x 23 = 23 × 53
  2. 23 x 23 is equivalent to 23 23 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 23 × 53 = 1219

So, if the divisor is 23 and the quotient is 53, the dividend is 1219.
