What value divided by 57 equals 40?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 57 and the quotient 40?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 57 × 40 = 2280

To prove this, let's compute 2280 divided by 57: 2280 57 = 40

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 57 gives a result of 40 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 57 = 40

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 57: 57 x 57 = 57 × 40
  2. 57 x 57 is equivalent to 57 57 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 57 × 40 = 2280

So, if the divisor is 57 and the quotient is 40, the dividend is 2280.
