What value divided by 71 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 71 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 71 × 42 = 2982

To prove this, let's compute 2982 divided by 71: 2982 71 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 71 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 71 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 71: 71 x 71 = 71 × 42
  2. 71 x 71 is equivalent to 71 71 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 71 × 42 = 2982

So, if the divisor is 71 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 2982.
