What value divided by 3 equals 51?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 3 and the quotient 51?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 3 × 51 = 153

To prove this, let's compute 153 divided by 3: 153 3 = 51

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 3 gives a result of 51 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 3 = 51

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 3: 3 x 3 = 3 × 51
  2. 3 x 3 is equivalent to 3 3 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 3 × 51 = 153

So, if the divisor is 3 and the quotient is 51, the dividend is 153.
