What value divided by 74 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 74 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 74 × 42 = 3108

To prove this, let's compute 3108 divided by 74: 3108 74 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 74 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 74 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 74: 74 x 74 = 74 × 42
  2. 74 x 74 is equivalent to 74 74 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 74 × 42 = 3108

So, if the divisor is 74 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 3108.
