What value divided by 42 equals 78?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 42 and the quotient 78?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 42 × 78 = 3276

To prove this, let's compute 3276 divided by 42: 3276 42 = 78

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 42 gives a result of 78 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 42 = 78

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 42: 42 x 42 = 42 × 78
  2. 42 x 42 is equivalent to 42 42 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 42 × 78 = 3276

So, if the divisor is 42 and the quotient is 78, the dividend is 3276.
