What value divided by 40 equals 57?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 40 and the quotient 57?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 40 × 57 = 2280

To prove this, let's compute 2280 divided by 40: 2280 40 = 57

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 40 gives a result of 57 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 40 = 57

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 40: 40 x 40 = 40 × 57
  2. 40 x 40 is equivalent to 40 40 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 40 × 57 = 2280

So, if the divisor is 40 and the quotient is 57, the dividend is 2280.
