What value divided by 40 equals 54?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 40 and the quotient 54?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 40 × 54 = 2160
To prove this, let's compute 2160 divided by 40:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 40 gives a result of 54 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 54, the dividend is 2160.
