What value divided by 42 equals 74?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 42 and the quotient 74?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 42 × 74 = 3108

To prove this, let's compute 3108 divided by 42: 3108 42 = 74

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 42 gives a result of 74 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 42 = 74

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 42: 42 x 42 = 42 × 74
  2. 42 x 42 is equivalent to 42 42 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 42 × 74 = 3108

So, if the divisor is 42 and the quotient is 74, the dividend is 3108.
