The product of two factors is 2,000. If one factor is 40, the other factor is Choose .

1 answer

To find the other factor when one factor is given as 40, you can use the equation:

\[ \text{factor 1} \times \text{factor 2} = \text{product} \]

Given:

  • \(\text{factor 1} = 40\)
  • \(\text{product} = 2000\)

You can find the other factor (\(\text{factor 2}\)) by rearranging the equation:

\[ \text{factor 2} = \frac{\text{product}}{\text{factor 1}} \]

Now, substitute the values:

\[ \text{factor 2} = \frac{2000}{40} \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ \text{factor 2} = 50 \]

Therefore, the other factor is 50.
