What value divided by 40 equals 65?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 40 and the quotient 65?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 40 × 65 = 2600
To prove this, let's compute 2600 divided by 40:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 40 gives a result of 65 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 65, the dividend is 2600.
