Yep, Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy is where it's from. They asked a super computer to give them the reason for everything and it told them 42.

SPOILER ALERT:
Douglas Adams wrote the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," a five-part trilogy. ;-) In it a number of mice were experimenting with a super computer that took eons to figure out the answer to the question, what's the meaning of life, the universe, and everything? The computer's ultimate answer was "42."

read the series of hilarious books by Douglas Adams, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"
It was the answer to the question what is the meaning of life, the universe and everything that the giant supercomputer spent 7 billion years working out.
