What value divided by 72 equals 77?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 72 and the quotient 77?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 72 × 77 = 5544

To prove this, let's compute 5544 divided by 72: 5544 72 = 77

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 72 gives a result of 77 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 72 = 77

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 72: 72 x 72 = 72 × 77
  2. 72 x 72 is equivalent to 72 72 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 72 × 77 = 5544

So, if the divisor is 72 and the quotient is 77, the dividend is 5544.
