What value divided by 72 equals 78?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 72 and the quotient 78?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 72 × 78 = 5616

To prove this, let's compute 5616 divided by 72: 5616 72 = 78

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 72 gives a result of 78 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 72 = 78

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 72: 72 x 72 = 72 × 78
  2. 72 x 72 is equivalent to 72 72 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 72 × 78 = 5616

So, if the divisor is 72 and the quotient is 78, the dividend is 5616.
