What value divided by 24 equals 14?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 24 and the quotient 14?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 24 × 14 = 336
To prove this, let's compute 336 divided by 24:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 24 gives a result of 14 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 24:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 24 and the quotient is 14, the dividend is 336.
