What value divided by 28 equals 71?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 28 and the quotient 71?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 28 × 71 = 1988

To prove this, let's compute 1988 divided by 28: 1988 28 = 71

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 28 gives a result of 71 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 28 = 71

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 28: 28 x 28 = 28 × 71
  2. 28 x 28 is equivalent to 28 28 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 28 × 71 = 1988

So, if the divisor is 28 and the quotient is 71, the dividend is 1988.
