What value divided by 72 equals 17?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 72 and the quotient 17?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 72 × 17 = 1224

To prove this, let's compute 1224 divided by 72: 1224 72 = 17

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 72 gives a result of 17 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 72 = 17

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 72: 72 x 72 = 72 × 17
  2. 72 x 72 is equivalent to 72 72 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 72 × 17 = 1224

So, if the divisor is 72 and the quotient is 17, the dividend is 1224.
