What value divided by 72 equals 74?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 72 and the quotient 74?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 72 × 74 = 5328

To prove this, let's compute 5328 divided by 72: 5328 72 = 74

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 72 gives a result of 74 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 72 = 74

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 72: 72 x 72 = 72 × 74
  2. 72 x 72 is equivalent to 72 72 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 72 × 74 = 5328

So, if the divisor is 72 and the quotient is 74, the dividend is 5328.
