What value divided by 26 equals 15?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 26 and the quotient 15?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 26 × 15 = 390
To prove this, let's compute 390 divided by 26:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 26 gives a result of 15 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 26:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 26 and the quotient is 15, the dividend is 390.
