What value divided by 42 equals 73?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 42 and the quotient 73?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 42 × 73 = 3066

To prove this, let's compute 3066 divided by 42: 3066 42 = 73

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 42 gives a result of 73 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 42 = 73

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 42: 42 x 42 = 42 × 73
  2. 42 x 42 is equivalent to 42 42 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 42 × 73 = 3066

So, if the divisor is 42 and the quotient is 73, the dividend is 3066.
