What value divided by 71 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 71 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 71 × 72 = 5112

To prove this, let's compute 5112 divided by 71: 5112 71 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 71 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 71 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 71: 71 x 71 = 71 × 72
  2. 71 x 71 is equivalent to 71 71 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 71 × 72 = 5112

So, if the divisor is 71 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 5112.
