What value divided by 72 equals 16?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 72 and the quotient 16?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 72 × 16 = 1152

To prove this, let's compute 1152 divided by 72: 1152 72 = 16

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 72 gives a result of 16 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 72 = 16

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 72: 72 x 72 = 72 × 16
  2. 72 x 72 is equivalent to 72 72 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 72 × 16 = 1152

So, if the divisor is 72 and the quotient is 16, the dividend is 1152.
