What value divided by 31 equals 9?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 31 and the quotient 9?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 31 × 9 = 279

To prove this, let's compute 279 divided by 31: 279 31 = 9

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 31 gives a result of 9 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 31 = 9

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 31: 31 x 31 = 31 × 9
  2. 31 x 31 is equivalent to 31 31 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 31 × 9 = 279

So, if the divisor is 31 and the quotient is 9, the dividend is 279.
