What value divided by 51 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 51 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 51 × 42 = 2142

To prove this, let's compute 2142 divided by 51: 2142 51 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 51 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 51 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 51: 51 x 51 = 51 × 42
  2. 51 x 51 is equivalent to 51 51 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 51 × 42 = 2142

So, if the divisor is 51 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 2142.
