What value divided by 72 equals 20?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 72 and the quotient 20?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 72 × 20 = 1440

To prove this, let's compute 1440 divided by 72: 1440 72 = 20

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 72 gives a result of 20 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 72 = 20

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 72: 72 x 72 = 72 × 20
  2. 72 x 72 is equivalent to 72 72 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 72 × 20 = 1440

So, if the divisor is 72 and the quotient is 20, the dividend is 1440.
