What value divided by 28 equals 15?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 28 and the quotient 15?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 28 × 15 = 420
To prove this, let's compute 420 divided by 28:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 28 gives a result of 15 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 28:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 28 and the quotient is 15, the dividend is 420.
