What value divided by 40 equals 64?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 40 and the quotient 64?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 40 × 64 = 2560
To prove this, let's compute 2560 divided by 40:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 40 gives a result of 64 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 64, the dividend is 2560.
