What value divided by 42 equals 56?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 42 and the quotient 56?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 42 × 56 = 2352

To prove this, let's compute 2352 divided by 42: 2352 42 = 56

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 42 gives a result of 56 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 42 = 56

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 42: 42 x 42 = 42 × 56
  2. 42 x 42 is equivalent to 42 42 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 42 × 56 = 2352

So, if the divisor is 42 and the quotient is 56, the dividend is 2352.
