What value divided by 42 equals 41?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 42 and the quotient 41?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 42 × 41 = 1722

To prove this, let's compute 1722 divided by 42: 1722 42 = 41

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 42 gives a result of 41 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 42 = 41

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 42: 42 x 42 = 42 × 41
  2. 42 x 42 is equivalent to 42 42 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 42 × 41 = 1722

So, if the divisor is 42 and the quotient is 41, the dividend is 1722.
