What value divided by 24 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 24 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 24 × 42 = 1008

To prove this, let's compute 1008 divided by 24: 1008 24 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 24 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 24 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 24: 24 x 24 = 24 × 42
  2. 24 x 24 is equivalent to 24 24 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 24 × 42 = 1008

So, if the divisor is 24 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 1008.
