What value divided by 61 equals 21?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 61 and the quotient 21?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 61 × 21 = 1281
To prove this, let's compute 1281 divided by 61:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 61 gives a result of 21 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 61:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 61 and the quotient is 21, the dividend is 1281.
