What value divided by 40 equals 79?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 40 and the quotient 79?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 40 × 79 = 3160

To prove this, let's compute 3160 divided by 40: 3160 40 = 79

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 40 gives a result of 79 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 40 = 79

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 40: 40 x 40 = 40 × 79
  2. 40 x 40 is equivalent to 40 40 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 40 × 79 = 3160

So, if the divisor is 40 and the quotient is 79, the dividend is 3160.
