What value divided by 72 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 72 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 72 × 42 = 3024

To prove this, let's compute 3024 divided by 72: 3024 72 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 72 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 72 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 72: 72 x 72 = 72 × 42
  2. 72 x 72 is equivalent to 72 72 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 72 × 42 = 3024

So, if the divisor is 72 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 3024.
