What value divided by 14 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 14 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 14 × 42 = 588

To prove this, let's compute 588 divided by 14: 588 14 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 14 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 14 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 14: 14 x 14 = 14 × 42
  2. 14 x 14 is equivalent to 14 14 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 14 × 42 = 588

So, if the divisor is 14 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 588.
