What value divided by 31 equals 19?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 31 and the quotient 19?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 31 × 19 = 589
To prove this, let's compute 589 divided by 31:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 31 gives a result of 19 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 31:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 31 and the quotient is 19, the dividend is 589.
