What two numbers have a product of 24 and a quotient of 15?

Here is how to get the answer to "What two numbers have a product of 24 and a quotient of 15?" We show you step-by-step how find the answer so you can solve problems like this on your own in the future.

We will call the two numbers we are looking for x and y, and we will start by making two equations like this:

Equation 1: Two numbers have a product of 24, means:

x • y = 24

Equation 2: Two numbers have a quotient of 15, means:

x / y = 15
x = 15y

Then, we put Equation 2 into Equation 1. We do this by substituting x in x • y = 24 with 15y, like this:

x • y = 24
15y • y = 24
y = 1.264911

Finally, since y = 1.264911, we put 1.264911 into Equation 1 by substituting y in x • y = 24 with 1.264911, like this:

x • 1.264911 = 24
x = 18.973666

Thus, the answer is "1.264911 and 18.973666" as illustrated here:

18.973666 • 1.264911 = 24

18.973666 / 1.264911 = 15

Note: Answers are rounded up to the nearest 6 decimals if necessary, so the answers may not be exact.
