What value divided by 77 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 77 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 77 × 42 = 3234

To prove this, let's compute 3234 divided by 77: 3234 77 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 77 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 77 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 77: 77 x 77 = 77 × 42
  2. 77 x 77 is equivalent to 77 77 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 77 × 42 = 3234

So, if the divisor is 77 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 3234.
