What value divided by 75 equals 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 75 × 42 = 3150

To prove this, let's compute 3150 divided by 75: $\frac{3150}{75} = 42$

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 75 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{x}{75} = 42$

We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 75: $\frac{75 x}{75} = 75 \times 42$
$\frac{75 x}{75}$ is equivalent to $\frac{75}{75} x$ , which simplifies to $1 x$ (or just $x$ ).
Thus: $x = 75 \times 42 = 3150$

So, if the divisor is 75 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 3150.
