What value divided by 32 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 32 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 32 × 72 = 2304

To prove this, let's compute 2304 divided by 32: 2304 32 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 32 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 32 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 32: 32 x 32 = 32 × 72
  2. 32 x 32 is equivalent to 32 32 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 32 × 72 = 2304

So, if the divisor is 32 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 2304.
