What value divided by 99 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 99 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 99 × 42 = 4158

To prove this, let's compute 4158 divided by 99: 4158 99 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 99 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 99 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 99: 99 x 99 = 99 × 42
  2. 99 x 99 is equivalent to 99 99 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 99 × 42 = 4158

So, if the divisor is 99 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 4158.
