What value divided by 13 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 13 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 13 × 42 = 546

To prove this, let's compute 546 divided by 13: 546 13 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 13 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 13 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 13: 13 x 13 = 13 × 42
  2. 13 x 13 is equivalent to 13 13 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 13 × 42 = 546

So, if the divisor is 13 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 546.
