What value divided by 78 equals 40?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 78 and the quotient 40?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 78 × 40 = 3120

To prove this, let's compute 3120 divided by 78: 3120 78 = 40

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 78 gives a result of 40 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 78 = 40

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 78: 78 x 78 = 78 × 40
  2. 78 x 78 is equivalent to 78 78 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 78 × 40 = 3120

So, if the divisor is 78 and the quotient is 40, the dividend is 3120.
