What value divided by 42 equals 77?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 42 and the quotient 77?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 42 × 77 = 3234

To prove this, let's compute 3234 divided by 42: 3234 42 = 77

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 42 gives a result of 77 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 42 = 77

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 42: 42 x 42 = 42 × 77
  2. 42 x 42 is equivalent to 42 42 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 42 × 77 = 3234

So, if the divisor is 42 and the quotient is 77, the dividend is 3234.
