What value divided by 72 equals 68?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 72 and the quotient 68?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 72 × 68 = 4896

To prove this, let's compute 4896 divided by 72: 4896 72 = 68

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 72 gives a result of 68 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 72 = 68

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 72: 72 x 72 = 72 × 68
  2. 72 x 72 is equivalent to 72 72 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 72 × 68 = 4896

So, if the divisor is 72 and the quotient is 68, the dividend is 4896.
