What value divided by 40 equals 55?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 40 and the quotient 55?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 40 × 55 = 2200

To prove this, let's compute 2200 divided by 40: 2200 40 = 55

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 40 gives a result of 55 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 40 = 55

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 40: 40 x 40 = 40 × 55
  2. 40 x 40 is equivalent to 40 40 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 40 × 55 = 2200

So, if the divisor is 40 and the quotient is 55, the dividend is 2200.
