What value divided by 72 equals 61?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 72 and the quotient 61?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 72 × 61 = 4392

To prove this, let's compute 4392 divided by 72: 4392 72 = 61

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 72 gives a result of 61 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 72 = 61

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 72: 72 x 72 = 72 × 61
  2. 72 x 72 is equivalent to 72 72 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 72 × 61 = 4392

So, if the divisor is 72 and the quotient is 61, the dividend is 4392.
