What value divided by 36 equals 2?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 36 × 2 = 72

To prove this, let's compute 72 divided by 36: $\frac{72}{36} = 2$

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 36 gives a result of 2 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{x}{36} = 2$

We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 36: $\frac{36 x}{36} = 36 \times 2$
$\frac{36 x}{36}$ is equivalent to $\frac{36}{36} x$ , which simplifies to $1 x$ (or just $x$ ).
Thus: $x = 36 \times 2 = 72$

So, if the divisor is 36 and the quotient is 2, the dividend is 72.
