What value divided by 7 equals 6?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 7 and the quotient 6?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 7 × 6 = 42

To prove this, let's compute 42 divided by 7: 42 7 = 6

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 7 gives a result of 6 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 7 = 6

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 7: 7 x 7 = 7 × 6
  2. 7 x 7 is equivalent to 7 7 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 7 × 6 = 42

So, if the divisor is 7 and the quotient is 6, the dividend is 42.
