What value divided by 48 equals 16?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 48 and the quotient 16?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 48 × 16 = 768

To prove this, let's compute 768 divided by 48: 768 48 = 16

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 48 gives a result of 16 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 48 = 16

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 48: 48 x 48 = 48 × 16
  2. 48 x 48 is equivalent to 48 48 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 48 × 16 = 768

So, if the divisor is 48 and the quotient is 16, the dividend is 768.
