What value divided by 60 equals 42?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 60 and the quotient 42?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 60 × 42 = 2520
To prove this, let's compute 2520 divided by 60:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 60 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 60:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 60 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 2520.
