What value divided by 83 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 83 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 83 × 42 = 3486

To prove this, let's compute 3486 divided by 83: 3486 83 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 83 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 83 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 83: 83 x 83 = 83 × 42
  2. 83 x 83 is equivalent to 83 83 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 83 × 42 = 3486

So, if the divisor is 83 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 3486.
