What value divided by 42 equals 59?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 42 and the quotient 59?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 42 × 59 = 2478

To prove this, let's compute 2478 divided by 42: 2478 42 = 59

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 42 gives a result of 59 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 42 = 59

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 42: 42 x 42 = 42 × 59
  2. 42 x 42 is equivalent to 42 42 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 42 × 59 = 2478

So, if the divisor is 42 and the quotient is 59, the dividend is 2478.
