What value divided by 42 equals 1?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 42 and the quotient 1?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 42 × 1 = 42

To prove this, let's compute 42 divided by 42: 42 42 = 1

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 42 gives a result of 1 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 42 = 1

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

So, if the divisor is 42 and the quotient is 1, the dividend is 42.
