What value divided by 51 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 51 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 51 × 72 = 3672

To prove this, let's compute 3672 divided by 51: 3672 51 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 51 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 51 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 51: 51 x 51 = 51 × 72
  2. 51 x 51 is equivalent to 51 51 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 51 × 72 = 3672

So, if the divisor is 51 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 3672.
