What value divided by 23 equals 88?

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 23 gives a result of 88 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{x}{23}=88$

1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 23: $\frac{23x}{\mathrm{23}}=23\times 88$
2. $\frac{23x}{\mathrm{23}}$ is equivalent to $\frac{23}{\mathrm{23}}x$, which simplifies to $1x$ (or just $x$).
3. Thus: $x=23\times 88=2024$

So, if the divisor is 23 and the quotient is 88, the dividend is 2024.
