What value divided by 26 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 26 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 26 × 72 = 1872

To prove this, let's compute 1872 divided by 26: 1872 26 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 26 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 26 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 26: 26 x 26 = 26 × 72
  2. 26 x 26 is equivalent to 26 26 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 26 × 72 = 1872

So, if the divisor is 26 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 1872.
