What value divided by 48 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 48 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 48 × 72 = 3456

To prove this, let's compute 3456 divided by 48: 3456 48 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 48 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 48 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 48: 48 x 48 = 48 × 72
  2. 48 x 48 is equivalent to 48 48 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 48 × 72 = 3456

So, if the divisor is 48 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 3456.
