What value divided by 46 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 46 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 46 × 72 = 3312

To prove this, let's compute 3312 divided by 46: 3312 46 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 46 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 46 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 46: 46 x 46 = 46 × 72
  2. 46 x 46 is equivalent to 46 46 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 46 × 72 = 3312

So, if the divisor is 46 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 3312.
