What value divided by 33 equals 15?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 33 and the quotient 15?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 33 × 15 = 495
To prove this, let's compute 495 divided by 33:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 33 gives a result of 15 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 33:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 33 and the quotient is 15, the dividend is 495.
