What value divided by 27 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 27 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 27 × 72 = 1944

To prove this, let's compute 1944 divided by 27: 1944 27 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 27 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 27 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 27: 27 x 27 = 27 × 72
  2. 27 x 27 is equivalent to 27 27 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 27 × 72 = 1944

So, if the divisor is 27 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 1944.
