What value divided by 59 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 59 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 59 × 42 = 2478

To prove this, let's compute 2478 divided by 59: 2478 59 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 59 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 59 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 59: 59 x 59 = 59 × 42
  2. 59 x 59 is equivalent to 59 59 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 59 × 42 = 2478

So, if the divisor is 59 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 2478.
