What value divided by 40 equals 22?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 40 and the quotient 22?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 40 × 22 = 880
To prove this, let's compute 880 divided by 40:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 40 gives a result of 22 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 22, the dividend is 880.
