What value divided by 47 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 47 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 47 × 42 = 1974

To prove this, let's compute 1974 divided by 47: 1974 47 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 47 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 47 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 47: 47 x 47 = 47 × 42
  2. 47 x 47 is equivalent to 47 47 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 47 × 42 = 1974

So, if the divisor is 47 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 1974.
