What value divided by 40 equals 53?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 40 and the quotient 53?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 40 × 53 = 2120

To prove this, let's compute 2120 divided by 40: 2120 40 = 53

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 40 gives a result of 53 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 40 = 53

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 40: 40 x 40 = 40 × 53
  2. 40 x 40 is equivalent to 40 40 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 40 × 53 = 2120

So, if the divisor is 40 and the quotient is 53, the dividend is 2120.
