What value divided by 40 equals 59?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 40 and the quotient 59?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 40 × 59 = 2360

To prove this, let's compute 2360 divided by 40: 2360 40 = 59

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 40 gives a result of 59 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 40 = 59

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 40: 40 x 40 = 40 × 59
  2. 40 x 40 is equivalent to 40 40 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 40 × 59 = 2360

So, if the divisor is 40 and the quotient is 59, the dividend is 2360.
