What value divided by 42 equals 71?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 42 and the quotient 71?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 42 × 71 = 2982

To prove this, let's compute 2982 divided by 42: 2982 42 = 71

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 42 gives a result of 71 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 42 = 71

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 42: 42 x 42 = 42 × 71
  2. 42 x 42 is equivalent to 42 42 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 42 × 71 = 2982

So, if the divisor is 42 and the quotient is 71, the dividend is 2982.
