What value divided by 39 equals 38?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 39 and the quotient 38?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 39 × 38 = 1482

To prove this, let's compute 1482 divided by 39: 1482 39 = 38

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 39 gives a result of 38 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 39 = 38

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 39: 39 x 39 = 39 × 38
  2. 39 x 39 is equivalent to 39 39 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 39 × 38 = 1482

So, if the divisor is 39 and the quotient is 38, the dividend is 1482.
