What value divided by 40 equals 78?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 40 and the quotient 78?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 40 × 78 = 3120

To prove this, let's compute 3120 divided by 40: 3120 40 = 78

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 40 gives a result of 78 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 40 = 78

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 40: 40 x 40 = 40 × 78
  2. 40 x 40 is equivalent to 40 40 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 40 × 78 = 3120

So, if the divisor is 40 and the quotient is 78, the dividend is 3120.
