What value divided by 88 equals 21?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 88 and the quotient 21?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 88 × 21 = 1848
To prove this, let's compute 1848 divided by 88:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 88 gives a result of 21 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 88:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 88 and the quotient is 21, the dividend is 1848.
