What value divided by 3 equals 56?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 3 and the quotient 56?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 3 × 56 = 168

To prove this, let's compute 168 divided by 3: 168 3 = 56

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 3 gives a result of 56 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 3 = 56

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 3: 3 x 3 = 3 × 56
  2. 3 x 3 is equivalent to 3 3 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 3 × 56 = 168

So, if the divisor is 3 and the quotient is 56, the dividend is 168.
