What value divided by 33 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 33 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 33 × 42 = 1386

To prove this, let's compute 1386 divided by 33: 1386 33 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 33 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 33 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 33: 33 x 33 = 33 × 42
  2. 33 x 33 is equivalent to 33 33 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 33 × 42 = 1386

So, if the divisor is 33 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 1386.
