What value divided by 60 equals 59?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 60 and the quotient 59?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 60 × 59 = 3540

To prove this, let's compute 3540 divided by 60: 3540 60 = 59

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 60 gives a result of 59 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 60 = 59

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 60: 60 x 60 = 60 × 59
  2. 60 x 60 is equivalent to 60 60 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 60 × 59 = 3540

So, if the divisor is 60 and the quotient is 59, the dividend is 3540.
