What value divided by 84 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 84 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 84 × 42 = 3528

To prove this, let's compute 3528 divided by 84: 3528 84 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 84 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 84 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 84: 84 x 84 = 84 × 42
  2. 84 x 84 is equivalent to 84 84 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 84 × 42 = 3528

So, if the divisor is 84 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 3528.
