What value divided by 41 equals 42?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 41 and the quotient 42?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 41 × 42 = 1722
To prove this, let's compute 1722 divided by 41:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 41 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 41:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 41 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 1722.
