What value divided by 10 equals 40?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 10 and the quotient 40?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 10 × 40 = 400

To prove this, let's compute 400 divided by 10: 400 10 = 40

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 10 gives a result of 40 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 10 = 40

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 10: 10 x 10 = 10 × 40
  2. 10 x 10 is equivalent to 10 10 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 10 × 40 = 400

So, if the divisor is 10 and the quotient is 40, the dividend is 400.
