What value divided by 66 equals 21?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 66 and the quotient 21?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 66 × 21 = 1386
To prove this, let's compute 1386 divided by 66:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 66 gives a result of 21 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 66:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 66 and the quotient is 21, the dividend is 1386.
