What value divided by 45 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 45 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 45 × 42 = 1890

To prove this, let's compute 1890 divided by 45: 1890 45 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 45 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 45 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 45: 45 x 45 = 45 × 42
  2. 45 x 45 is equivalent to 45 45 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 45 × 42 = 1890

So, if the divisor is 45 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 1890.
