What value divided by 3 equals 54?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 3 and the quotient 54?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 3 × 54 = 162

To prove this, let's compute 162 divided by 3: 162 3 = 54

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 3 gives a result of 54 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 3 = 54

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 3: 3 x 3 = 3 × 54
  2. 3 x 3 is equivalent to 3 3 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 3 × 54 = 162

So, if the divisor is 3 and the quotient is 54, the dividend is 162.
