What value divided by 100 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 100 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 100 × 42 = 4200

To prove this, let's compute 4200 divided by 100: 4200 100 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 100 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 100 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 100: 100 x 100 = 100 × 42
  2. 100 x 100 is equivalent to 100 100 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 100 × 42 = 4200

So, if the divisor is 100 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 4200.
