What value divided by 42 equals 31?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 42 and the quotient 31?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 42 × 31 = 1302

To prove this, let's compute 1302 divided by 42: 1302 42 = 31

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 42 gives a result of 31 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 42 = 31

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 42: 42 x 42 = 42 × 31
  2. 42 x 42 is equivalent to 42 42 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 42 × 31 = 1302

So, if the divisor is 42 and the quotient is 31, the dividend is 1302.
