What value divided by 72 equals 76?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 72 and the quotient 76?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 72 × 76 = 5472

To prove this, let's compute 5472 divided by 72: 5472 72 = 76

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 72 gives a result of 76 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 72 = 76

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 72: 72 x 72 = 72 × 76
  2. 72 x 72 is equivalent to 72 72 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 72 × 76 = 5472

So, if the divisor is 72 and the quotient is 76, the dividend is 5472.
