What value divided by 24 equals 21?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 24 and the quotient 21?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 24 × 21 = 504
To prove this, let's compute 504 divided by 24:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 24 gives a result of 21 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 21, the dividend is 504.
