What value divided by 50 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 50 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 50 × 42 = 2100

To prove this, let's compute 2100 divided by 50: 2100 50 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 50 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 50 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 50: 50 x 50 = 50 × 42
  2. 50 x 50 is equivalent to 50 50 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 50 × 42 = 2100

So, if the divisor is 50 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 2100.
