What value divided by 72 equals 14?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 72 and the quotient 14?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 72 × 14 = 1008
To prove this, let's compute 1008 divided by 72:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 72 gives a result of 14 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 72:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 72 and the quotient is 14, the dividend is 1008.
