What value divided by 40 equals 29?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 40 and the quotient 29?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 40 × 29 = 1160
To prove this, let's compute 1160 divided by 40:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 40 gives a result of 29 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 29, the dividend is 1160.
