What value divided by 42 equals 28?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 42 and the quotient 28?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 42 × 28 = 1176

To prove this, let's compute 1176 divided by 42: 1176 42 = 28

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 42 gives a result of 28 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 42 = 28

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 42: 42 x 42 = 42 × 28
  2. 42 x 42 is equivalent to 42 42 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 42 × 28 = 1176

So, if the divisor is 42 and the quotient is 28, the dividend is 1176.
