What value divided by 38 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 38 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 38 × 42 = 1596

To prove this, let's compute 1596 divided by 38: 1596 38 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 38 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 38 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 38: 38 x 38 = 38 × 42
  2. 38 x 38 is equivalent to 38 38 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 38 × 42 = 1596

So, if the divisor is 38 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 1596.
