What value divided by 6 equals 40?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 6 × 40 = 240

To prove this, let's compute 240 divided by 6: $\frac{240}{6} = 40$

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 6 gives a result of 40 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{x}{6} = 40$

We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 6: $\frac{6 x}{6} = 6 \times 40$
$\frac{6 x}{6}$ is equivalent to $\frac{6}{6} x$ , which simplifies to $1 x$ (or just $x$ ).
Thus: $x = 6 \times 40 = 240$

So, if the divisor is 6 and the quotient is 40, the dividend is 240.
