What value divided by 23 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 23 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 23 × 42 = 966

To prove this, let's compute 966 divided by 23: 966 23 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 23 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 23 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 23: 23 x 23 = 23 × 42
  2. 23 x 23 is equivalent to 23 23 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 23 × 42 = 966

So, if the divisor is 23 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 966.
