What value divided by 3 equals 43?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 3 and the quotient 43?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 3 × 43 = 129

To prove this, let's compute 129 divided by 3: 129 3 = 43

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 3 gives a result of 43 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 3 = 43

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 3: 3 x 3 = 3 × 43
  2. 3 x 3 is equivalent to 3 3 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 3 × 43 = 129

So, if the divisor is 3 and the quotient is 43, the dividend is 129.
