What value divided by 72 equals 53?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 72 and the quotient 53?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 72 × 53 = 3816

To prove this, let's compute 3816 divided by 72: 3816 72 = 53

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 72 gives a result of 53 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 72 = 53

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 72: 72 x 72 = 72 × 53
  2. 72 x 72 is equivalent to 72 72 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 72 × 53 = 3816

So, if the divisor is 72 and the quotient is 53, the dividend is 3816.
