What value divided by 40 equals 39?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 40 and the quotient 39?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 40 × 39 = 1560
To prove this, let's compute 1560 divided by 40:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 40 gives a result of 39 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 39, the dividend is 1560.
