What value divided by 22 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 22 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 22 × 72 = 1584

To prove this, let's compute 1584 divided by 22: 1584 22 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 22 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 22 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 22: 22 x 22 = 22 × 72
  2. 22 x 22 is equivalent to 22 22 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 22 × 72 = 1584

So, if the divisor is 22 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 1584.
