What value divided by 40 equals 19?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 40 and the quotient 19?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 40 × 19 = 760
To prove this, let's compute 760 divided by 40:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 40 gives a result of 19 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 40:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 40 and the quotient is 19, the dividend is 760.
