What value divided by 42 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 42 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 42 × 72 = 3024

To prove this, let's compute 3024 divided by 42: 3024 42 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 42 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 42 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 42: 42 x 42 = 42 × 72
  2. 42 x 42 is equivalent to 42 42 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 42 × 72 = 3024

So, if the divisor is 42 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 3024.
