What value divided by 18 equals 40?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 18 and the quotient 40?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 18 × 40 = 720

To prove this, let's compute 720 divided by 18: 720 18 = 40

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 18 gives a result of 40 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 18 = 40

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 18: 18 x 18 = 18 × 40
  2. 18 x 18 is equivalent to 18 18 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 18 × 40 = 720

So, if the divisor is 18 and the quotient is 40, the dividend is 720.
