What value divided by 24 equals 60?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 24 and the quotient 60?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 24 × 60 = 1440
To prove this, let's compute 1440 divided by 24:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 24 gives a result of 60 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 24:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 24 and the quotient is 60, the dividend is 1440.
