What value divided by 42 equals 88?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 42 and the quotient 88?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 42 × 88 = 3696

To prove this, let's compute 3696 divided by 42: 3696 42 = 88

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 42 gives a result of 88 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 42 = 88

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 42: 42 x 42 = 42 × 88
  2. 42 x 42 is equivalent to 42 42 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 42 × 88 = 3696

So, if the divisor is 42 and the quotient is 88, the dividend is 3696.
