What value divided by 42 equals 68?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 42 and the quotient 68?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 42 × 68 = 2856

To prove this, let's compute 2856 divided by 42: 2856 42 = 68

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 42 gives a result of 68 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 42 = 68

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 42: 42 x 42 = 42 × 68
  2. 42 x 42 is equivalent to 42 42 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 42 × 68 = 2856

So, if the divisor is 42 and the quotient is 68, the dividend is 2856.
