What value divided by 40 equals 10?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 40 and the quotient 10?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 40 × 10 = 400

To prove this, let's compute 400 divided by 40: 400 40 = 10

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 40 gives a result of 10 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 40 = 10

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 40: 40 x 40 = 40 × 10
  2. 40 x 40 is equivalent to 40 40 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 40 × 10 = 400

So, if the divisor is 40 and the quotient is 10, the dividend is 400.
