What value divided by 42 equals 36?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 42 and the quotient 36?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 42 × 36 = 1512

To prove this, let's compute 1512 divided by 42: 1512 42 = 36

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 42 gives a result of 36 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 42 = 36

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 42: 42 x 42 = 42 × 36
  2. 42 x 42 is equivalent to 42 42 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 42 × 36 = 1512

So, if the divisor is 42 and the quotient is 36, the dividend is 1512.
