What value divided by 23 equals 74?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 23 and the quotient 74?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 23 × 74 = 1702

To prove this, let's compute 1702 divided by 23: 1702 23 = 74

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 23 gives a result of 74 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 23 = 74

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 23: 23 x 23 = 23 × 74
  2. 23 x 23 is equivalent to 23 23 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 23 × 74 = 1702

So, if the divisor is 23 and the quotient is 74, the dividend is 1702.
