What value divided by 81 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 81 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 81 × 42 = 3402

To prove this, let's compute 3402 divided by 81: 3402 81 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 81 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 81 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 81: 81 x 81 = 81 × 42
  2. 81 x 81 is equivalent to 81 81 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 81 × 42 = 3402

So, if the divisor is 81 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 3402.
