What value divided by 42 equals 38?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 42 and the quotient 38?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 42 × 38 = 1596

To prove this, let's compute 1596 divided by 42: 1596 42 = 38

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 42 gives a result of 38 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 42 = 38

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 42: 42 x 42 = 42 × 38
  2. 42 x 42 is equivalent to 42 42 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 42 × 38 = 1596

So, if the divisor is 42 and the quotient is 38, the dividend is 1596.
