What value divided by 7 equals 3?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 7 and the quotient 3?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 7 × 3 = 21

To prove this, let's compute 21 divided by 7: 21 7 = 3

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 7 gives a result of 3 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 7 = 3

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 7: 7 x 7 = 7 × 3
  2. 7 x 7 is equivalent to 7 7 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 7 × 3 = 21

So, if the divisor is 7 and the quotient is 3, the dividend is 21.
