What value divided by 42 equals 51?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 42 and the quotient 51?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 42 × 51 = 2142

To prove this, let's compute 2142 divided by 42: 2142 42 = 51

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 42 gives a result of 51 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 42 = 51

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 42: 42 x 42 = 42 × 51
  2. 42 x 42 is equivalent to 42 42 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 42 × 51 = 2142

So, if the divisor is 42 and the quotient is 51, the dividend is 2142.
