What value divided by 79 equals 40?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 79 and the quotient 40?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 79 × 40 = 3160

To prove this, let's compute 3160 divided by 79: 3160 79 = 40

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 79 gives a result of 40 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 79 = 40

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 79: 79 x 79 = 79 × 40
  2. 79 x 79 is equivalent to 79 79 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 79 × 40 = 3160

So, if the divisor is 79 and the quotient is 40, the dividend is 3160.
