What value divided by 10 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 10 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 10 × 72 = 720

To prove this, let's compute 720 divided by 10: 720 10 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 10 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 10 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 10: 10 x 10 = 10 × 72
  2. 10 x 10 is equivalent to 10 10 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 10 × 72 = 720

So, if the divisor is 10 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 720.
