What value divided by 39 equals 40?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 39 and the quotient 40?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 39 × 40 = 1560

To prove this, let's compute 1560 divided by 39: 1560 39 = 40

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 39 gives a result of 40 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 39 = 40

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 39: 39 x 39 = 39 × 40
  2. 39 x 39 is equivalent to 39 39 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 39 × 40 = 1560

So, if the divisor is 39 and the quotient is 40, the dividend is 1560.
