What value divided by 56 equals 21?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 56 and the quotient 21?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 56 × 21 = 1176
To prove this, let's compute 1176 divided by 56:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 56 gives a result of 21 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 21, the dividend is 1176.
