What value divided by 15 equals 40?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 15 and the quotient 40?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 15 × 40 = 600

To prove this, let's compute 600 divided by 15: 600 15 = 40

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 15 gives a result of 40 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 15 = 40

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 15: 15 x 15 = 15 × 40
  2. 15 x 15 is equivalent to 15 15 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 15 × 40 = 600

So, if the divisor is 15 and the quotient is 40, the dividend is 600.
