What value divided by 41 equals 21?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 41 and the quotient 21?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 41 × 21 = 861
To prove this, let's compute 861 divided by 41:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 41 gives a result of 21 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 41:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 41 and the quotient is 21, the dividend is 861.
