What value divided by 72 equals 26?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 72 and the quotient 26?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 72 × 26 = 1872

To prove this, let's compute 1872 divided by 72: 1872 72 = 26

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 72 gives a result of 26 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 72 = 26

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 72: 72 x 72 = 72 × 26
  2. 72 x 72 is equivalent to 72 72 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 72 × 26 = 1872

So, if the divisor is 72 and the quotient is 26, the dividend is 1872.
