What value divided by 72 equals 24?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 72 and the quotient 24?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 72 × 24 = 1728

To prove this, let's compute 1728 divided by 72: 1728 72 = 24

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 72 gives a result of 24 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 72 = 24

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 72: 72 x 72 = 72 × 24
  2. 72 x 72 is equivalent to 72 72 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 72 × 24 = 1728

So, if the divisor is 72 and the quotient is 24, the dividend is 1728.
