What value divided by 72 equals 71?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 72 and the quotient 71?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 72 × 71 = 5112

To prove this, let's compute 5112 divided by 72: 5112 72 = 71

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 72 gives a result of 71 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 72 = 71

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 72: 72 x 72 = 72 × 71
  2. 72 x 72 is equivalent to 72 72 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 72 × 71 = 5112

So, if the divisor is 72 and the quotient is 71, the dividend is 5112.
