What value divided by 23 equals 96?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 23 and the quotient 96?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 23 × 96 = 2208
To prove this, let's compute 2208 divided by 23:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 23 gives a result of 96 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 23:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 23 and the quotient is 96, the dividend is 2208.
