What value divided by 15 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 15 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 15 × 42 = 630

To prove this, let's compute 630 divided by 15: 630 15 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 15 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 15 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 15: 15 x 15 = 15 × 42
  2. 15 x 15 is equivalent to 15 15 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 15 × 42 = 630

So, if the divisor is 15 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 630.
