What value divided by 20 equals 40?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 20 and the quotient 40?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 20 × 40 = 800

To prove this, let's compute 800 divided by 20: 800 20 = 40

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 20 gives a result of 40 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 20 = 40

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 20: 20 x 20 = 20 × 40
  2. 20 x 20 is equivalent to 20 20 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 20 × 40 = 800

So, if the divisor is 20 and the quotient is 40, the dividend is 800.
