What value divided by 40 equals 100?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 40 and the quotient 100?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 40 × 100 = 4000

To prove this, let's compute 4000 divided by 40: 4000 40 = 100

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 40 gives a result of 100 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 40 = 100

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 40: 40 x 40 = 40 × 100
  2. 40 x 40 is equivalent to 40 40 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 40 × 100 = 4000

So, if the divisor is 40 and the quotient is 100, the dividend is 4000.
