What value divided by 55 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 55 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 55 × 72 = 3960

To prove this, let's compute 3960 divided by 55: 3960 55 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 55 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 55 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 55: 55 x 55 = 55 × 72
  2. 55 x 55 is equivalent to 55 55 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 55 × 72 = 3960

So, if the divisor is 55 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 3960.
