What value divided by 31 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 31 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 31 × 72 = 2232

To prove this, let's compute 2232 divided by 31: 2232 31 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 31 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 31 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 31: 31 x 31 = 31 × 72
  2. 31 x 31 is equivalent to 31 31 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 31 × 72 = 2232

So, if the divisor is 31 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 2232.
