What value divided by 31 equals 16?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 31 and the quotient 16?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 31 × 16 = 496

To prove this, let's compute 496 divided by 31: 496 31 = 16

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 31 gives a result of 16 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 31 = 16

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 31: 31 x 31 = 31 × 16
  2. 31 x 31 is equivalent to 31 31 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 31 × 16 = 496

So, if the divisor is 31 and the quotient is 16, the dividend is 496.
