What value divided by 83 equals 3?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 83 and the quotient 3?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 83 × 3 = 249

To prove this, let's compute 249 divided by 83: 249 83 = 3

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 83 gives a result of 3 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 83 = 3

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 83: 83 x 83 = 83 × 3
  2. 83 x 83 is equivalent to 83 83 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 83 × 3 = 249

So, if the divisor is 83 and the quotient is 3, the dividend is 249.
