What value divided by 42 equals 24?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 42 and the quotient 24?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 42 × 24 = 1008

To prove this, let's compute 1008 divided by 42: 1008 42 = 24

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 42 gives a result of 24 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 42 = 24

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 42: 42 x 42 = 42 × 24
  2. 42 x 42 is equivalent to 42 42 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 42 × 24 = 1008

So, if the divisor is 42 and the quotient is 24, the dividend is 1008.
