What value divided by 60 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 60 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 60 × 72 = 4320

To prove this, let's compute 4320 divided by 60: 4320 60 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 60 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 60 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 60: 60 x 60 = 60 × 72
  2. 60 x 60 is equivalent to 60 60 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 60 × 72 = 4320

So, if the divisor is 60 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 4320.
