What value divided by 72 equals 47?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 72 and the quotient 47?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 72 × 47 = 3384

To prove this, let's compute 3384 divided by 72: 3384 72 = 47

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 72 gives a result of 47 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 72 = 47

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 72: 72 x 72 = 72 × 47
  2. 72 x 72 is equivalent to 72 72 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 72 × 47 = 3384

So, if the divisor is 72 and the quotient is 47, the dividend is 3384.
