What value divided by 28 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 28 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 28 × 72 = 2016

To prove this, let's compute 2016 divided by 28: 2016 28 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 28 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 28 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 28: 28 x 28 = 28 × 72
  2. 28 x 28 is equivalent to 28 28 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 28 × 72 = 2016

So, if the divisor is 28 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 2016.
