It doesn't really relate to math so much, it is just from a famous book, called the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams. It was this supercomputer that finally calculated the answer to life as 42, after about 7 and a half million years.
Yup, that's why it so special, if you hear anyone say that.
But after all that they discovered that they'd asked the wrong question and then had to build another supercomputer to figure out what the right question should have been!
4 x something = 42. So 42 / 4 = something. 42 / 4 = 10.5 so 4 x 10.5 = 42 10.5
6 times 7 = 42 and so 7 is the larger number
The smallest whole number is ' 1 '. 42% is another way to write the number 0.42 and that's less than ' 1 ' . So 42 percent doesn't have what it takes to be a whole number, no matter what you do to it.
The multiples of 42 are: 42, 84, 126, 168, 210, 252, 294, 336, 378, 420, and so on. A number is a multiple of 42 if it is evenly divisible by 42.
The product of the two numbers is 42. The two other numbers, in order, are the multiplier and the multiplicand.

42 is a whole number and so cannot be sensibly represented as a mixed number.
8 does not divide 42 evenly so 42/8 is not a whole number.
42 is divisible by 2 (and other factors) so it is a composite number
4 x something = 42. So 42 / 4 = something. 42 / 4 = 10.5 so 4 x 10.5 = 42 10.5
The opposite of multiplying is dividing, so let's work this backwards. Divide 42 by 6. The answer is your number. And speaking of 42, so long, and thanks for all the fish.
No, 42 is a composite number, not a prime number. 42 is divisible by 2, 3, and 7. 42 has more than two factors and so it is a composite number. All even numbers greater than 2 are composite.
If you have a number x, then twice that number is 2*x and so the expression means 42 - 2*x
37 is a prime number, so since 42 can not be divided by 37 evenly, they are indeed relatively prime.
6 times 7 = 42 and so 7 is the larger number
The smallest whole number is ' 1 '. 42% is another way to write the number 0.42 and that's less than ' 1 ' . So 42 percent doesn't have what it takes to be a whole number, no matter what you do to it.
