What value divided by 48 equals 18?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 48 and the quotient 18?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 48 × 18 = 864
To prove this, let's compute 864 divided by 48:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 48 gives a result of 18 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 48:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 48 and the quotient is 18, the dividend is 864.
