What value divided by 72 equals 56?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 72 and the quotient 56?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 72 × 56 = 4032

To prove this, let's compute 4032 divided by 72: 4032 72 = 56

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 72 gives a result of 56 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 72 = 56

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 72: 72 x 72 = 72 × 56
  2. 72 x 72 is equivalent to 72 72 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 72 × 56 = 4032

So, if the divisor is 72 and the quotient is 56, the dividend is 4032.
