What value divided by 72 equals 79?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 72 and the quotient 79?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 72 × 79 = 5688

To prove this, let's compute 5688 divided by 72: 5688 72 = 79

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 72 gives a result of 79 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 72 = 79

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 72: 72 x 72 = 72 × 79
  2. 72 x 72 is equivalent to 72 72 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 72 × 79 = 5688

So, if the divisor is 72 and the quotient is 79, the dividend is 5688.
