What value divided by 60 equals 40?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 60 and the quotient 40?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 60 × 40 = 2400

To prove this, let's compute 2400 divided by 60: 2400 60 = 40

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 60 gives a result of 40 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 60 = 40

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 60: 60 x 60 = 60 × 40
  2. 60 x 60 is equivalent to 60 60 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 60 × 40 = 2400

So, if the divisor is 60 and the quotient is 40, the dividend is 2400.
