The divisor is 7. The quotient is 24. the remainder is 4. What is the dividend?

(x - 4) / 7 = 24

x - 4 = 24 * 7 = 168

x = 168 + 4 = 172

Verify

172 / 7 = 24.57142857

24.57142857 - 24 = 0.57142857

0.57142857 * 7 = 3.999999

If we could carry out the decimal portion far enough, the multiplication would equal 4.

However,

172 - 4 = 168

168 / 7 = 24
