What value divided by 36 equals 40?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 36 and the quotient 40?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 36 × 40 = 1440

To prove this, let's compute 1440 divided by 36: 1440 36 = 40

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 36 gives a result of 40 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 36 = 40

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 36: 36 x 36 = 36 × 40
  2. 36 x 36 is equivalent to 36 36 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 36 × 40 = 1440

So, if the divisor is 36 and the quotient is 40, the dividend is 1440.
