What value divided by 42 equals 33?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 42 and the quotient 33?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 42 × 33 = 1386

To prove this, let's compute 1386 divided by 42: 1386 42 = 33

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 42 gives a result of 33 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 42 = 33

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 42: 42 x 42 = 42 × 33
  2. 42 x 42 is equivalent to 42 42 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 42 × 33 = 1386

So, if the divisor is 42 and the quotient is 33, the dividend is 1386.
