What value divided by 40 equals 96?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 40 and the quotient 96?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 40 × 96 = 3840
To prove this, let's compute 3840 divided by 40:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 40 gives a result of 96 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 96, the dividend is 3840.
