What value divided by 30 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 30 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 30 × 42 = 1260

To prove this, let's compute 1260 divided by 30: 1260 30 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 30 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 30 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 30: 30 x 30 = 30 × 42
  2. 30 x 30 is equivalent to 30 30 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 30 × 42 = 1260

So, if the divisor is 30 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 1260.
