What value divided by 40 equals 32?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 40 and the quotient 32?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 40 × 32 = 1280

To prove this, let's compute 1280 divided by 40: 1280 40 = 32

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 40 gives a result of 32 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 40 = 32

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 40: 40 x 40 = 40 × 32
  2. 40 x 40 is equivalent to 40 40 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 40 × 32 = 1280

So, if the divisor is 40 and the quotient is 32, the dividend is 1280.
