What value divided by 22 equals 40?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 22 and the quotient 40?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 22 × 40 = 880
To prove this, let's compute 880 divided by 22:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 22 gives a result of 40 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 22:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 22 and the quotient is 40, the dividend is 880.
