What value divided by 32 equals 16?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 32 and the quotient 16?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 32 × 16 = 512

To prove this, let's compute 512 divided by 32: 512 32 = 16

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 32 gives a result of 16 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 32 = 16

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 32: 32 x 32 = 32 × 16
  2. 32 x 32 is equivalent to 32 32 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 32 × 16 = 512

So, if the divisor is 32 and the quotient is 16, the dividend is 512.
