What value divided by 79 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 79 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 79 × 42 = 3318

To prove this, let's compute 3318 divided by 79: 3318 79 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 79 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 79 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 79: 79 x 79 = 79 × 42
  2. 79 x 79 is equivalent to 79 79 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 79 × 42 = 3318

So, if the divisor is 79 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 3318.
