What value divided by 72 equals 45?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 72 and the quotient 45?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 72 × 45 = 3240

To prove this, let's compute 3240 divided by 72: 3240 72 = 45

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 72 gives a result of 45 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 72 = 45

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 72: 72 x 72 = 72 × 45
  2. 72 x 72 is equivalent to 72 72 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 72 × 45 = 3240

So, if the divisor is 72 and the quotient is 45, the dividend is 3240.
