What value divided by 60 equals 24?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 60 and the quotient 24?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 60 × 24 = 1440
To prove this, let's compute 1440 divided by 60:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 60 gives a result of 24 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 60:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 60 and the quotient is 24, the dividend is 1440.
