What value divided by 56 equals 16?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 56 and the quotient 16?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 56 × 16 = 896

To prove this, let's compute 896 divided by 56: 896 56 = 16

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 56 gives a result of 16 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 56 = 16

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 56: 56 x 56 = 56 × 16
  2. 56 x 56 is equivalent to 56 56 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 56 × 16 = 896

So, if the divisor is 56 and the quotient is 16, the dividend is 896.
