What value divided by 59 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 59 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 59 × 72 = 4248

To prove this, let's compute 4248 divided by 59: 4248 59 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 59 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 59 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 59: 59 x 59 = 59 × 72
  2. 59 x 59 is equivalent to 59 59 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 59 × 72 = 4248

So, if the divisor is 59 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 4248.
