What value divided by 6 equals 23?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 6 and the quotient 23?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 6 × 23 = 138

To prove this, let's compute 138 divided by 6: 138 6 = 23

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 6 gives a result of 23 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 6 = 23

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 6: 6 x 6 = 6 × 23
  2. 6 x 6 is equivalent to 6 6 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 6 × 23 = 138

So, if the divisor is 6 and the quotient is 23, the dividend is 138.
