What value divided by 72 equals 55?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 72 and the quotient 55?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 72 × 55 = 3960

To prove this, let's compute 3960 divided by 72: 3960 72 = 55

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 72 gives a result of 55 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 72 = 55

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 72: 72 x 72 = 72 × 55
  2. 72 x 72 is equivalent to 72 72 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 72 × 55 = 3960

So, if the divisor is 72 and the quotient is 55, the dividend is 3960.
