What value divided by 50 equals 40?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 50 and the quotient 40?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 50 × 40 = 2000

To prove this, let's compute 2000 divided by 50: 2000 50 = 40

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 50 gives a result of 40 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 50 = 40

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 50: 50 x 50 = 50 × 40
  2. 50 x 50 is equivalent to 50 50 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 50 × 40 = 2000

So, if the divisor is 50 and the quotient is 40, the dividend is 2000.
