What value divided by 42 equals 87?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 42 and the quotient 87?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 42 × 87 = 3654

To prove this, let's compute 3654 divided by 42: 3654 42 = 87

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 42 gives a result of 87 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 42 = 87

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 42: 42 x 42 = 42 × 87
  2. 42 x 42 is equivalent to 42 42 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 42 × 87 = 3654

So, if the divisor is 42 and the quotient is 87, the dividend is 3654.
