What value divided by 86 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 86 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 86 × 42 = 3612

To prove this, let's compute 3612 divided by 86: 3612 86 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 86 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 86 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 86: 86 x 86 = 86 × 42
  2. 86 x 86 is equivalent to 86 86 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 86 × 42 = 3612

So, if the divisor is 86 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 3612.
