What value divided by 51 equals 40?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 51 and the quotient 40?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 51 × 40 = 2040

To prove this, let's compute 2040 divided by 51: 2040 51 = 40

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 51 gives a result of 40 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 51 = 40

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 51: 51 x 51 = 51 × 40
  2. 51 x 51 is equivalent to 51 51 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 51 × 40 = 2040

So, if the divisor is 51 and the quotient is 40, the dividend is 2040.
