What value divided by 100 equals 40?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 100 and the quotient 40?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 100 × 40 = 4000

To prove this, let's compute 4000 divided by 100: 4000 100 = 40

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 100 gives a result of 40 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 100 = 40

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 100: 100 x 100 = 100 × 40
  2. 100 x 100 is equivalent to 100 100 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 100 × 40 = 4000

So, if the divisor is 100 and the quotient is 40, the dividend is 4000.
