What value divided by 39 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 39 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 39 × 42 = 1638

To prove this, let's compute 1638 divided by 39: 1638 39 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 39 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 39 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 39: 39 x 39 = 39 × 42
  2. 39 x 39 is equivalent to 39 39 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 39 × 42 = 1638

So, if the divisor is 39 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 1638.
