What value divided by 100 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 100 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 100 × 72 = 7200

To prove this, let's compute 7200 divided by 100: 7200 100 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 100 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 100 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 100: 100 x 100 = 100 × 72
  2. 100 x 100 is equivalent to 100 100 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 100 × 72 = 7200

So, if the divisor is 100 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 7200.
