What value divided by 28 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 28 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 28 × 42 = 1176

To prove this, let's compute 1176 divided by 28: 1176 28 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 28 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 28 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 28: 28 x 28 = 28 × 42
  2. 28 x 28 is equivalent to 28 28 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 28 × 42 = 1176

So, if the divisor is 28 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 1176.
