What value divided by 99 equals 21?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 99 and the quotient 21?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 99 × 21 = 2079
To prove this, let's compute 2079 divided by 99:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 99 gives a result of 21 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 99:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 99 and the quotient is 21, the dividend is 2079.
