What value divided by 72 equals 28?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 72 and the quotient 28?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 72 × 28 = 2016
To prove this, let's compute 2016 divided by 72:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 72 gives a result of 28 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 28, the dividend is 2016.
