What value divided by 24 equals 2?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 24 and the quotient 2?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 24 × 2 = 48
To prove this, let's compute 48 divided by 24:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 24 gives a result of 2 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 2, the dividend is 48.
