What value divided by 73 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 73 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 73 × 42 = 3066

To prove this, let's compute 3066 divided by 73: 3066 73 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 73 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 73 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 73: 73 x 73 = 73 × 42
  2. 73 x 73 is equivalent to 73 73 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 73 × 42 = 3066

So, if the divisor is 73 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 3066.
