What value divided by 40 equals 20?

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

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

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

How does it work?

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

x 40 = 20

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

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