What value divided by 6 equals 3?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 6 and the quotient 3?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 6 × 3 = 18

To prove this, let's compute 18 divided by 6: 18 6 = 3

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 6 gives a result of 3 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 6 = 3

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 6: 6 x 6 = 6 × 3
  2. 6 x 6 is equivalent to 6 6 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 6 × 3 = 18

So, if the divisor is 6 and the quotient is 3, the dividend is 18.
