What value divided by 23 equals 6?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 23 and the quotient 6?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 23 × 6 = 138

To prove this, let's compute 138 divided by 23: 138 23 = 6

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 23 gives a result of 6 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 23 = 6

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 23: 23 x 23 = 23 × 6
  2. 23 x 23 is equivalent to 23 23 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 23 × 6 = 138

So, if the divisor is 23 and the quotient is 6, the dividend is 138.
