What value divided by 61 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 61 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 61 × 42 = 2562

To prove this, let's compute 2562 divided by 61: 2562 61 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 61 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 61 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 61: 61 x 61 = 61 × 42
  2. 61 x 61 is equivalent to 61 61 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 61 × 42 = 2562

So, if the divisor is 61 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 2562.
