What value divided by 40 equals 73?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 40 and the quotient 73?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 40 × 73 = 2920
To prove this, let's compute 2920 divided by 40:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 40 gives a result of 73 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 73, the dividend is 2920.
