What value divided by 55 equals 40?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 55 and the quotient 40?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 55 × 40 = 2200

To prove this, let's compute 2200 divided by 55: 2200 55 = 40

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 55 gives a result of 40 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 55 = 40

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 55: 55 x 55 = 55 × 40
  2. 55 x 55 is equivalent to 55 55 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 55 × 40 = 2200

So, if the divisor is 55 and the quotient is 40, the dividend is 2200.
