What value divided by 72 equals 18?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 72 and the quotient 18?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 72 × 18 = 1296

To prove this, let's compute 1296 divided by 72: 1296 72 = 18

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 72 gives a result of 18 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 72 = 18

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 72: 72 x 72 = 72 × 18
  2. 72 x 72 is equivalent to 72 72 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 72 × 18 = 1296

So, if the divisor is 72 and the quotient is 18, the dividend is 1296.
