What value divided by 72 equals 73?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 72 and the quotient 73?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 72 × 73 = 5256

To prove this, let's compute 5256 divided by 72: 5256 72 = 73

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 72 gives a result of 73 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 72 = 73

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 72: 72 x 72 = 72 × 73
  2. 72 x 72 is equivalent to 72 72 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 72 × 73 = 5256

So, if the divisor is 72 and the quotient is 73, the dividend is 5256.
