What value divided by 71 equals 40?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 71 and the quotient 40?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 71 × 40 = 2840

To prove this, let's compute 2840 divided by 71: 2840 71 = 40

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 71 gives a result of 40 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 71 = 40

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 71: 71 x 71 = 71 × 40
  2. 71 x 71 is equivalent to 71 71 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 71 × 40 = 2840

So, if the divisor is 71 and the quotient is 40, the dividend is 2840.
