What value divided by 25 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 25 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 25 × 72 = 1800

To prove this, let's compute 1800 divided by 25: 1800 25 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 25 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 25 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 25: 25 x 25 = 25 × 72
  2. 25 x 25 is equivalent to 25 25 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 25 × 72 = 1800

So, if the divisor is 25 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 1800.
