What value divided by 72 equals 25?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 72 and the quotient 25?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 72 × 25 = 1800
To prove this, let's compute 1800 divided by 72:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 72 gives a result of 25 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 72:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 72 and the quotient is 25, the dividend is 1800.
