What value divided by 42 equals 11?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 42 and the quotient 11?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 42 × 11 = 462
To prove this, let's compute 462 divided by 42:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 42 gives a result of 11 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 42:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 42 and the quotient is 11, the dividend is 462.
