What value divided by 47 equals 21?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 47 and the quotient 21?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 47 × 21 = 987

To prove this, let's compute 987 divided by 47: 987 47 = 21

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 47 gives a result of 21 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 47 = 21

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 47: 47 x 47 = 47 × 21
  2. 47 x 47 is equivalent to 47 47 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 47 × 21 = 987

So, if the divisor is 47 and the quotient is 21, the dividend is 987.
