What value divided by 84 equals 3?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 84 and the quotient 3?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 84 × 3 = 252

To prove this, let's compute 252 divided by 84: 252 84 = 3

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 84 gives a result of 3 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 84 = 3

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 84: 84 x 84 = 84 × 3
  2. 84 x 84 is equivalent to 84 84 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 84 × 3 = 252

So, if the divisor is 84 and the quotient is 3, the dividend is 252.
