What value divided by 68 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 68 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 68 × 42 = 2856

To prove this, let's compute 2856 divided by 68: 2856 68 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 68 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 68 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 68: 68 x 68 = 68 × 42
  2. 68 x 68 is equivalent to 68 68 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 68 × 42 = 2856

So, if the divisor is 68 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 2856.
