What value divided by 50 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 50 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 50 × 72 = 3600

To prove this, let's compute 3600 divided by 50: 3600 50 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 50 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 50 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 50: 50 x 50 = 50 × 72
  2. 50 x 50 is equivalent to 50 50 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 50 × 72 = 3600

So, if the divisor is 50 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 3600.
