What value divided by 53 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 53 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 53 × 72 = 3816

To prove this, let's compute 3816 divided by 53: 3816 53 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 53 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 53 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 53: 53 x 53 = 53 × 72
  2. 53 x 53 is equivalent to 53 53 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 53 × 72 = 3816

So, if the divisor is 53 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 3816.
