What value divided by 42 equals 53?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 42 and the quotient 53?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 42 × 53 = 2226

To prove this, let's compute 2226 divided by 42: 2226 42 = 53

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 42 gives a result of 53 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 42 = 53

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 42: 42 x 42 = 42 × 53
  2. 42 x 42 is equivalent to 42 42 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 42 × 53 = 2226

So, if the divisor is 42 and the quotient is 53, the dividend is 2226.
