What value divided by 40 equals 66?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 40 and the quotient 66?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 40 × 66 = 2640
To prove this, let's compute 2640 divided by 40:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 40 gives a result of 66 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 66, the dividend is 2640.
