What value divided by 16 equals 40?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 16 and the quotient 40?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 16 × 40 = 640

To prove this, let's compute 640 divided by 16: 640 16 = 40

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 16 gives a result of 40 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 16 = 40

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 16: 16 x 16 = 16 × 40
  2. 16 x 16 is equivalent to 16 16 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 16 × 40 = 640

So, if the divisor is 16 and the quotient is 40, the dividend is 640.
