What value divided by 42 equals 3?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 42 and the quotient 3?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 42 × 3 = 126

To prove this, let's compute 126 divided by 42: 126 42 = 3

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 42 gives a result of 3 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 42 = 3

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 42: 42 x 42 = 42 × 3
  2. 42 x 42 is equivalent to 42 42 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 42 × 3 = 126

So, if the divisor is 42 and the quotient is 3, the dividend is 126.
