What value divided by 48 equals 36?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 48 and the quotient 36?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 48 × 36 = 1728

To prove this, let's compute 1728 divided by 48: 1728 48 = 36

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 48 gives a result of 36 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 48 = 36

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 48: 48 x 48 = 48 × 36
  2. 48 x 48 is equivalent to 48 48 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 48 × 36 = 1728

So, if the divisor is 48 and the quotient is 36, the dividend is 1728.
