What Divided By 42 Equals 453

Solving What Divided by 42 Equals 453

Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:

$\frac{x}{42}=453$

The goal of the problem is to solve for $x$. To do this we need to change the equation so that $x$ is alone on one side of the equation. In this case, we can do that by multiplying both sides of the equation by $42$, resulting in this equation:

$x = 453 \times 42$

Then we simplify and find our answer:

$x = 19026$

So, the answer to the question “What divided by $42$ equals $453$?” is $19026$. To prove this, we can take the original problem:

$\frac{x}{42} = 453$

And insert $19026$ in the place of $x$:

$\frac{19026}{42} = 453$

Because this is true, the answer must be correct.
