What value divided by 55 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 55 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 55 × 42 = 2310

To prove this, let's compute 2310 divided by 55: 2310 55 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 55 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 55 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 55: 55 x 55 = 55 × 42
  2. 55 x 55 is equivalent to 55 55 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 55 × 42 = 2310

So, if the divisor is 55 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 2310.
