What value divided by 59 equals 3?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 59 and the quotient 3?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 59 × 3 = 177

To prove this, let's compute 177 divided by 59: 177 59 = 3

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 59 gives a result of 3 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 59 = 3

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 59: 59 x 59 = 59 × 3
  2. 59 x 59 is equivalent to 59 59 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 59 × 3 = 177

So, if the divisor is 59 and the quotient is 3, the dividend is 177.
