Well, isn't that a happy little math problem! If you take a moment to think about it, you'll see that 5 times 8 equals 40, and if we add just a little more, we get to 42. So, the answer is 5 times 8! Just remember, there are many ways to reach your answer, and each one is a beautiful journey of discovery.

Oh, dude, let's break out the ol' calculator for this brain teaser. So, 42 divided by 8 is like... 5.25, right? But we want a whole number, so technically, 5 times 8 is 40, and if we add 2 more, we get 42. So, the answer is 5 times 8 plus 2. Math, man, it's a trip!
