According to Douglas Adams and his Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, 42 is the ultimate answer to life, the universe and everything.
Apparently the answer is 6 times 9.
6 x 9 = 42 in base 13, rather than base 10.
In base 10, 6 x 9 = 54.
4 times 13 = 52, means you have 2 left. So, 42 = 54 in base 13, and not base 9 like that other guy said.

The answer to the ultimate question. What the hell the ultimate question is, no one knows. The computer Deep Thought made the computer Earth to figure out the ultimate question. 5 seconds before completion, the Earth was blown up to make way for an interstellar highway.
What do you get when you multiply 6 by 9?
42.

The answer to life, the universe, and everything.
We don't know what 42 means, we simply know it's the answer.
The Answer of the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything

The meaning of life. The reason it is a simple number and even stated as a joke is because it is not literally the meaning to life. The meaning behind it is that investigating what the number could mean is the most exciting part, the conclusion that it was a joke is symbolism. 42 = Life is the journey, not the destination. The answer to life isn't going to be very interesting. It is the journey discovering what the meaning of life is, not the meaning itself.
Quoted from hitch hikers guide to the galaxy:
"What is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything?"
"42."
