What value divided by 30 equals 72?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 30 and the quotient 72?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 30 × 72 = 2160
To prove this, let's compute 2160 divided by 30:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 30 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 30:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 30 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 2160.
