What value divided by 32 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 32 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 32 × 42 = 1344

To prove this, let's compute 1344 divided by 32: 1344 32 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 32 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 32 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 32: 32 x 32 = 32 × 42
  2. 32 x 32 is equivalent to 32 32 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 32 × 42 = 1344

So, if the divisor is 32 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 1344.
