What value divided by 53 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 53 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 53 × 42 = 2226

To prove this, let's compute 2226 divided by 53: 2226 53 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 53 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 53 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 53: 53 x 53 = 53 × 42
  2. 53 x 53 is equivalent to 53 53 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 53 × 42 = 2226

So, if the divisor is 53 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 2226.
