What value divided by 81 equals 16?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 81 and the quotient 16?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 81 × 16 = 1296
To prove this, let's compute 1296 divided by 81:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 81 gives a result of 16 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 81:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 81 and the quotient is 16, the dividend is 1296.
