What value divided by 88 equals 23?

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 88 gives a result of 23 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{x}{88}=23$

1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 88: $\frac{88x}{\mathrm{88}}=88\times 23$
2. $\frac{88x}{\mathrm{88}}$ is equivalent to $\frac{88}{\mathrm{88}}x$, which simplifies to $1x$ (or just $x$).
3. Thus: $x=88\times 23=2024$

So, if the divisor is 88 and the quotient is 23, the dividend is 2024.
