What value divided by 72 equals 23?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 72 and the quotient 23?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 72 × 23 = 1656

To prove this, let's compute 1656 divided by 72: 1656 72 = 23

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 72 gives a result of 23 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 72 = 23

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 72: 72 x 72 = 72 × 23
  2. 72 x 72 is equivalent to 72 72 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 72 × 23 = 1656

So, if the divisor is 72 and the quotient is 23, the dividend is 1656.
