What value divided by 88 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 88 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 88 × 42 = 3696

To prove this, let's compute 3696 divided by 88: 3696 88 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 88 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 88 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 88: 88 x 88 = 88 × 42
  2. 88 x 88 is equivalent to 88 88 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 88 × 42 = 3696

So, if the divisor is 88 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 3696.
