What value divided by 42 equals 89?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 42 and the quotient 89?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 42 × 89 = 3738

To prove this, let's compute 3738 divided by 42: 3738 42 = 89

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 42 gives a result of 89 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 42 = 89

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 42: 42 x 42 = 42 × 89
  2. 42 x 42 is equivalent to 42 42 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 42 × 89 = 3738

So, if the divisor is 42 and the quotient is 89, the dividend is 3738.
