What value divided by 24 equals 23?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 24 and the quotient 23?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 24 × 23 = 552
To prove this, let's compute 552 divided by 24:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 24 gives a result of 23 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 23, the dividend is 552.
