What value divided by 53 equals 16?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 53 and the quotient 16?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 53 × 16 = 848

To prove this, let's compute 848 divided by 53: 848 53 = 16

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 53 gives a result of 16 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 53 = 16

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 53: 53 x 53 = 53 × 16
  2. 53 x 53 is equivalent to 53 53 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 53 × 16 = 848

So, if the divisor is 53 and the quotient is 16, the dividend is 848.
