What value divided by 40 equals 31?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 40 and the quotient 31?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 40 × 31 = 1240

To prove this, let's compute 1240 divided by 40: 1240 40 = 31

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 40 gives a result of 31 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 40 = 31

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 40: 40 x 40 = 40 × 31
  2. 40 x 40 is equivalent to 40 40 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 40 × 31 = 1240

So, if the divisor is 40 and the quotient is 31, the dividend is 1240.
