What value divided by 72 equals 36?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 72 and the quotient 36?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 72 × 36 = 2592

To prove this, let's compute 2592 divided by 72: 2592 72 = 36

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 72 gives a result of 36 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 72 = 36

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 72: 72 x 72 = 72 × 36
  2. 72 x 72 is equivalent to 72 72 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 72 × 36 = 2592

So, if the divisor is 72 and the quotient is 36, the dividend is 2592.
