What value divided by 72 equals 48?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 72 and the quotient 48?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 72 × 48 = 3456

To prove this, let's compute 3456 divided by 72: 3456 72 = 48

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 72 gives a result of 48 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 72 = 48

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 72: 72 x 72 = 72 × 48
  2. 72 x 72 is equivalent to 72 72 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 72 × 48 = 3456

So, if the divisor is 72 and the quotient is 48, the dividend is 3456.
