What value divided by 42 equals 90?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 42 and the quotient 90?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 42 × 90 = 3780
To prove this, let's compute 3780 divided by 42:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 42 gives a result of 90 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 42:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 42 and the quotient is 90, the dividend is 3780.
