What value divided by 70 equals 42?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 70 and the quotient 42?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 70 × 42 = 2940
To prove this, let's compute 2940 divided by 70:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 70 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 70:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 70 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 2940.
