What value divided by 25 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 25 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 25 × 42 = 1050

To prove this, let's compute 1050 divided by 25: 1050 25 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 25 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 25 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 25: 25 x 25 = 25 × 42
  2. 25 x 25 is equivalent to 25 25 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 25 × 42 = 1050

So, if the divisor is 25 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 1050.
