What value divided by 72 equals 21?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 72 and the quotient 21?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 72 × 21 = 1512

To prove this, let's compute 1512 divided by 72: 1512 72 = 21

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 72 gives a result of 21 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 72 = 21

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 72: 72 x 72 = 72 × 21
  2. 72 x 72 is equivalent to 72 72 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 72 × 21 = 1512

So, if the divisor is 72 and the quotient is 21, the dividend is 1512.
