What value divided by 45 equals 40?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 45 and the quotient 40?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 45 × 40 = 1800

To prove this, let's compute 1800 divided by 45: 1800 45 = 40

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 45 gives a result of 40 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 45 = 40

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 45: 45 x 45 = 45 × 40
  2. 45 x 45 is equivalent to 45 45 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 45 × 40 = 1800

So, if the divisor is 45 and the quotient is 40, the dividend is 1800.
