What value divided by 68 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 68 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 68 × 72 = 4896

To prove this, let's compute 4896 divided by 68: 4896 68 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 68 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 68 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 68: 68 x 68 = 68 × 72
  2. 68 x 68 is equivalent to 68 68 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 68 × 72 = 4896

So, if the divisor is 68 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 4896.
