What value divided by 42 equals 57?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 42 and the quotient 57?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 42 × 57 = 2394

To prove this, let's compute 2394 divided by 42: 2394 42 = 57

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 42 gives a result of 57 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 42 = 57

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 42: 42 x 42 = 42 × 57
  2. 42 x 42 is equivalent to 42 42 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 42 × 57 = 2394

So, if the divisor is 42 and the quotient is 57, the dividend is 2394.
