What value divided by 29 equals 40?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 29 and the quotient 40?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 29 × 40 = 1160
To prove this, let's compute 1160 divided by 29:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 29 gives a result of 40 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 29:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 29 and the quotient is 40, the dividend is 1160.
