What value divided by 3 equals 57?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 3 and the quotient 57?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 3 × 57 = 171

To prove this, let's compute 171 divided by 3: 171 3 = 57

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 3 gives a result of 57 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 3 = 57

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 3: 3 x 3 = 3 × 57
  2. 3 x 3 is equivalent to 3 3 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 3 × 57 = 171

So, if the divisor is 3 and the quotient is 57, the dividend is 171.
