What value divided by 42 equals 84?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 42 and the quotient 84?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 42 × 84 = 3528

To prove this, let's compute 3528 divided by 42: 3528 42 = 84

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 42 gives a result of 84 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 42 = 84

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 42: 42 x 42 = 42 × 84
  2. 42 x 42 is equivalent to 42 42 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 42 × 84 = 3528

So, if the divisor is 42 and the quotient is 84, the dividend is 3528.
