What value divided by 74 equals 40?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 74 and the quotient 40?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 74 × 40 = 2960

To prove this, let's compute 2960 divided by 74: 2960 74 = 40

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 74 gives a result of 40 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 74 = 40

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 74: 74 x 74 = 74 × 40
  2. 74 x 74 is equivalent to 74 74 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 74 × 40 = 2960

So, if the divisor is 74 and the quotient is 40, the dividend is 2960.
