What value divided by 47 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 47 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 47 × 72 = 3384

To prove this, let's compute 3384 divided by 47: 3384 47 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 47 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 47 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 47: 47 x 47 = 47 × 72
  2. 47 x 47 is equivalent to 47 47 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 47 × 72 = 3384

So, if the divisor is 47 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 3384.
