What value divided by 23 equals 56?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 23 and the quotient 56?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 23 × 56 = 1288

To prove this, let's compute 1288 divided by 23: 1288 23 = 56

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 23 gives a result of 56 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 23 = 56

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 23: 23 x 23 = 23 × 56
  2. 23 x 23 is equivalent to 23 23 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 23 × 56 = 1288

So, if the divisor is 23 and the quotient is 56, the dividend is 1288.
