What value divided by 48 equals 40?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 48 and the quotient 40?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 48 × 40 = 1920

To prove this, let's compute 1920 divided by 48: 1920 48 = 40

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 48 gives a result of 40 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 48 = 40

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 48: 48 x 48 = 48 × 40
  2. 48 x 48 is equivalent to 48 48 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 48 × 40 = 1920

So, if the divisor is 48 and the quotient is 40, the dividend is 1920.
