What value divided by 16 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 16 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 16 × 42 = 672

To prove this, let's compute 672 divided by 16: 672 16 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 16 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 16 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 16: 16 x 16 = 16 × 42
  2. 16 x 16 is equivalent to 16 16 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 16 × 42 = 672

So, if the divisor is 16 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 672.
