What value divided by 58 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 58 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 58 × 42 = 2436

To prove this, let's compute 2436 divided by 58: 2436 58 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 58 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 58 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 58: 58 x 58 = 58 × 42
  2. 58 x 58 is equivalent to 58 58 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 58 × 42 = 2436

So, if the divisor is 58 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 2436.
