What value divided by 42 equals 79?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 42 and the quotient 79?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 42 × 79 = 3318

To prove this, let's compute 3318 divided by 42: 3318 42 = 79

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 42 gives a result of 79 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 42 = 79

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 42: 42 x 42 = 42 × 79
  2. 42 x 42 is equivalent to 42 42 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 42 × 79 = 3318

So, if the divisor is 42 and the quotient is 79, the dividend is 3318.
