What value divided by 43 equals 40?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 43 and the quotient 40?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 43 × 40 = 1720

To prove this, let's compute 1720 divided by 43: 1720 43 = 40

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 43 gives a result of 40 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 43 = 40

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 43: 43 x 43 = 43 × 40
  2. 43 x 43 is equivalent to 43 43 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 43 × 40 = 1720

So, if the divisor is 43 and the quotient is 40, the dividend is 1720.
