What value divided by 71 equals 2?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 71 and the quotient 2?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 71 × 2 = 142

To prove this, let's compute 142 divided by 71: 142 71 = 2

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 71 gives a result of 2 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 71 = 2

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 71: 71 x 71 = 71 × 2
  2. 71 x 71 is equivalent to 71 71 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 71 × 2 = 142

So, if the divisor is 71 and the quotient is 2, the dividend is 142.
