What value divided by 40 equals 6?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 40 and the quotient 6?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 40 × 6 = 240

To prove this, let's compute 240 divided by 40: 240 40 = 6

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 40 gives a result of 6 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 40 = 6

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 40: 40 x 40 = 40 × 6
  2. 40 x 40 is equivalent to 40 40 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 40 × 6 = 240

So, if the divisor is 40 and the quotient is 6, the dividend is 240.
