What value divided by 99 equals 40?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 99 and the quotient 40?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 99 × 40 = 3960

To prove this, let's compute 3960 divided by 99: 3960 99 = 40

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 99 gives a result of 40 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 99 = 40

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 99: 99 x 99 = 99 × 40
  2. 99 x 99 is equivalent to 99 99 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 99 × 40 = 3960

So, if the divisor is 99 and the quotient is 40, the dividend is 3960.
