What value divided by 40 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 40 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 40 × 42 = 1680

To prove this, let's compute 1680 divided by 40: 1680 40 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 40 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 40 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 40: 40 x 40 = 40 × 42
  2. 40 x 40 is equivalent to 40 40 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 40 × 42 = 1680

So, if the divisor is 40 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 1680.
