What value divided by 32 equals 83?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 32 and the quotient 83?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 32 × 83 = 2656
To prove this, let's compute 2656 divided by 32:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 32 gives a result of 83 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 83, the dividend is 2656.
