jwbejflm:

First you have to do 42 x 28.4 and you get 1192.8 and then to check it you just do 1192.8 divided by 42 and you get 28.4

Mercury:

Politely disagree with the previous response. The remainder of 4 does not mean 0.4. A number divided by 42 has a quotient of 28 with a remainder of 4. What is the number? Let's work backwards. A number divided by 42 has a quotient of 28, with a remainder of 4. If we multiply 42*28 we get the original #, without the remainder. Therefore, simply add 4 onto that product to get the solution.
