What value divided by 19 equals 40?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 19 and the quotient 40?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 19 × 40 = 760
To prove this, let's compute 760 divided by 19:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 19 gives a result of 40 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 19:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 19 and the quotient is 40, the dividend is 760.
