What value divided by 53 equals 24?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 53 and the quotient 24?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 53 × 24 = 1272
To prove this, let's compute 1272 divided by 53:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 53 gives a result of 24 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 53:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 53 and the quotient is 24, the dividend is 1272.
