What value divided by 72 equals 54?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 72 and the quotient 54?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 72 × 54 = 3888

To prove this, let's compute 3888 divided by 72: 3888 72 = 54

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 72 gives a result of 54 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 72 = 54

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 72: 72 x 72 = 72 × 54
  2. 72 x 72 is equivalent to 72 72 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 72 × 54 = 3888

So, if the divisor is 72 and the quotient is 54, the dividend is 3888.
