What value divided by 38 equals 23?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 38 and the quotient 23?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 38 × 23 = 874
To prove this, let's compute 874 divided by 38:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 38 gives a result of 23 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 38:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 38 and the quotient is 23, the dividend is 874.
