What value divided by 42 equals 100?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 42 and the quotient 100?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 42 × 100 = 4200

To prove this, let's compute 4200 divided by 42: 4200 42 = 100

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 42 gives a result of 100 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 42 = 100

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 42: 42 x 42 = 42 × 100
  2. 42 x 42 is equivalent to 42 42 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 42 × 100 = 4200

So, if the divisor is 42 and the quotient is 100, the dividend is 4200.
