What value divided by 54 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 54 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 54 × 72 = 3888

To prove this, let's compute 3888 divided by 54: 3888 54 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 54 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 54 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 54: 54 x 54 = 54 × 72
  2. 54 x 54 is equivalent to 54 54 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 54 × 72 = 3888

So, if the divisor is 54 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 3888.
