What value divided by 9 equals 48?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 9 and the quotient 48?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 9 × 48 = 432

To prove this, let's compute 432 divided by 9: 432 9 = 48

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 9 gives a result of 48 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 9 = 48

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 9: 9 x 9 = 9 × 48
  2. 9 x 9 is equivalent to 9 9 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 9 × 48 = 432

So, if the divisor is 9 and the quotient is 48, the dividend is 432.
