What value divided by 54 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 54 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 54 × 42 = 2268

To prove this, let's compute 2268 divided by 54: 2268 54 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 54 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 54 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 54: 54 x 54 = 54 × 42
  2. 54 x 54 is equivalent to 54 54 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 54 × 42 = 2268

So, if the divisor is 54 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 2268.
