What value divided by 84 equals 15?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 84 and the quotient 15?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 84 × 15 = 1260
To prove this, let's compute 1260 divided by 84:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 84 gives a result of 15 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 84:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 84 and the quotient is 15, the dividend is 1260.
