What value divided by 72 equals 4?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 72 and the quotient 4?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 72 × 4 = 288

To prove this, let's compute 288 divided by 72: 288 72 = 4

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 72 gives a result of 4 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 72 = 4

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 72: 72 x 72 = 72 × 4
  2. 72 x 72 is equivalent to 72 72 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 72 × 4 = 288

So, if the divisor is 72 and the quotient is 4, the dividend is 288.
