What value divided by 18 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 18 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 18 × 72 = 1296

To prove this, let's compute 1296 divided by 18: 1296 18 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 18 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 18 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 18: 18 x 18 = 18 × 72
  2. 18 x 18 is equivalent to 18 18 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 18 × 72 = 1296

So, if the divisor is 18 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 1296.
