What value divided by 56 equals 15?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 56 and the quotient 15?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 56 × 15 = 840
To prove this, let's compute 840 divided by 56:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 56 gives a result of 15 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 56:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 56 and the quotient is 15, the dividend is 840.
