What value divided by 13 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 13 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 13 × 72 = 936

To prove this, let's compute 936 divided by 13: 936 13 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 13 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 13 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 13: 13 x 13 = 13 × 72
  2. 13 x 13 is equivalent to 13 13 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 13 × 72 = 936

So, if the divisor is 13 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 936.
