What value divided by 32 equals 14?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 32 and the quotient 14?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 32 × 14 = 448
To prove this, let's compute 448 divided by 32:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 32 gives a result of 14 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 32:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 32 and the quotient is 14, the dividend is 448.
