What value divided by 42 equals 83?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 42 and the quotient 83?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 42 × 83 = 3486

To prove this, let's compute 3486 divided by 42: 3486 42 = 83

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 42 gives a result of 83 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 42 = 83

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 42: 42 x 42 = 42 × 83
  2. 42 x 42 is equivalent to 42 42 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 42 × 83 = 3486

So, if the divisor is 42 and the quotient is 83, the dividend is 3486.
