What value divided by 97 equals 40?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 97 × 40 = 3880

To prove this, let's compute 3880 divided by 97: $\frac{3880}{97} = 40$

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 97 gives a result of 40 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{x}{97} = 40$

We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 97: $\frac{97 x}{97} = 97 \times 40$
$\frac{97 x}{97}$ is equivalent to $\frac{97}{97} x$ , which simplifies to $1 x$ (or just $x$ ).
Thus: $x = 97 \times 40 = 3880$

So, if the divisor is 97 and the quotient is 40, the dividend is 3880.
