40x
Forty times over
40x indicates something magnified or multiplied forty times.
In optics, a 40x microscope objective or telescope provides forty times magnification.
In other contexts, 40x describes proportional increase: The company achieved 40x growth in five years.
The pattern extends to any multiplier—10x, 100x—common in tech and investment talk for dramatic scaling.
