What value divided by 32 equals 59?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 32 and the quotient 59?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 32 × 59 = 1888
To prove this, let's compute 1888 divided by 32:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 32 gives a result of 59 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 59, the dividend is 1888.
