What value divided by 70 equals 40?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 70 and the quotient 40?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 70 × 40 = 2800
To prove this, let's compute 2800 divided by 70:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 70 gives a result of 40 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 70:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 70 and the quotient is 40, the dividend is 2800.
