What value divided by 40 equals 12?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 40 and the quotient 12?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 40 × 12 = 480

To prove this, let's compute 480 divided by 40: 480 40 = 12

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 40 gives a result of 12 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 40 = 12

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 40: 40 x 40 = 40 × 12
  2. 40 x 40 is equivalent to 40 40 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 40 × 12 = 480

So, if the divisor is 40 and the quotient is 12, the dividend is 480.
