What value divided by 18 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 18 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 18 × 42 = 756

To prove this, let's compute 756 divided by 18: 756 18 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 18 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 18 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 18: 18 x 18 = 18 × 42
  2. 18 x 18 is equivalent to 18 18 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 18 × 42 = 756

So, if the divisor is 18 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 756.
