What value divided by 10 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 10 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 10 × 42 = 420

To prove this, let's compute 420 divided by 10: 420 10 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 10 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 10 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 10: 10 x 10 = 10 × 42
  2. 10 x 10 is equivalent to 10 10 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 10 × 42 = 420

So, if the divisor is 10 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 420.
