What value divided by 38 equals 40?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 38 and the quotient 40?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 38 × 40 = 1520
To prove this, let's compute 1520 divided by 38:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 38 gives a result of 40 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 38:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 38 and the quotient is 40, the dividend is 1520.
