What value divided by 56 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 56 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 56 × 72 = 4032

To prove this, let's compute 4032 divided by 56: 4032 56 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 56 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 56 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 56: 56 x 56 = 56 × 72
  2. 56 x 56 is equivalent to 56 56 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 56 × 72 = 4032

So, if the divisor is 56 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 4032.
