What value divided by 78 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 78 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 78 × 42 = 3276

To prove this, let's compute 3276 divided by 78: 3276 78 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 78 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 78 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 78: 78 x 78 = 78 × 42
  2. 78 x 78 is equivalent to 78 78 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 78 × 42 = 3276

So, if the divisor is 78 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 3276.
