What value divided by 47 equals 40?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 47 and the quotient 40?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 47 × 40 = 1880

To prove this, let's compute 1880 divided by 47: 1880 47 = 40

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 47 gives a result of 40 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 47 = 40

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 47: 47 x 47 = 47 × 40
  2. 47 x 47 is equivalent to 47 47 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 47 × 40 = 1880

So, if the divisor is 47 and the quotient is 40, the dividend is 1880.
