What value divided by 36 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 36 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 36 × 42 = 1512

To prove this, let's compute 1512 divided by 36: 1512 36 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 36 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 36 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 36: 36 x 36 = 36 × 42
  2. 36 x 36 is equivalent to 36 36 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 36 × 42 = 1512

So, if the divisor is 36 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 1512.
