What value divided by 31 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 31 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 31 × 42 = 1302

To prove this, let's compute 1302 divided by 31: 1302 31 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 31 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 31 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 31: 31 x 31 = 31 × 42
  2. 31 x 31 is equivalent to 31 31 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 31 × 42 = 1302

So, if the divisor is 31 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 1302.
