What value divided by 14 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 14 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 14 × 72 = 1008

To prove this, let's compute 1008 divided by 14: 1008 14 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 14 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 14 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 14: 14 x 14 = 14 × 72
  2. 14 x 14 is equivalent to 14 14 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 14 × 72 = 1008

So, if the divisor is 14 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 1008.
