What value divided by 72 equals 81?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 72 and the quotient 81?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 72 × 81 = 5832

To prove this, let's compute 5832 divided by 72: 5832 72 = 81

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 72 gives a result of 81 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 72 = 81

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 72: 72 x 72 = 72 × 81
  2. 72 x 72 is equivalent to 72 72 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 72 × 81 = 5832

So, if the divisor is 72 and the quotient is 81, the dividend is 5832.
