What value divided by 40 equals 56?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 40 and the quotient 56?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 40 × 56 = 2240

To prove this, let's compute 2240 divided by 40: 2240 40 = 56

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 40 gives a result of 56 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 40 = 56

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 40: 40 x 40 = 40 × 56
  2. 40 x 40 is equivalent to 40 40 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 40 × 56 = 2240

So, if the divisor is 40 and the quotient is 56, the dividend is 2240.
