What value divided by 45 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 45 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 45 × 72 = 3240

To prove this, let's compute 3240 divided by 45: 3240 45 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 45 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 45 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 45: 45 x 45 = 45 × 72
  2. 45 x 45 is equivalent to 45 45 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 45 × 72 = 3240

So, if the divisor is 45 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 3240.
