What value divided by 64 equals 40?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 64 and the quotient 40?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 64 × 40 = 2560
To prove this, let's compute 2560 divided by 64:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 64 gives a result of 40 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 64:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 64 and the quotient is 40, the dividend is 2560.
