What value divided by 59 equals 40?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 59 and the quotient 40?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 59 × 40 = 2360

To prove this, let's compute 2360 divided by 59: 2360 59 = 40

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 59 gives a result of 40 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 59 = 40

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 59: 59 x 59 = 59 × 40
  2. 59 x 59 is equivalent to 59 59 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 59 × 40 = 2360

So, if the divisor is 59 and the quotient is 40, the dividend is 2360.
