What value divided by 42 equals 61?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 42 and the quotient 61?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 42 × 61 = 2562

To prove this, let's compute 2562 divided by 42: 2562 42 = 61

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 42 gives a result of 61 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 42 = 61

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 42: 42 x 42 = 42 × 61
  2. 42 x 42 is equivalent to 42 42 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 42 × 61 = 2562

So, if the divisor is 42 and the quotient is 61, the dividend is 2562.
