What value divided by 32 equals 48?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 32 and the quotient 48?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 32 × 48 = 1536
To prove this, let's compute 1536 divided by 32:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 32 gives a result of 48 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 48, the dividend is 1536.
