What value divided by 24 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 24 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 24 × 72 = 1728

To prove this, let's compute 1728 divided by 24: 1728 24 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 24 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 24 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 24: 24 x 24 = 24 × 72
  2. 24 x 24 is equivalent to 24 24 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 24 × 72 = 1728

So, if the divisor is 24 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 1728.
