What value divided by 72 equals 82?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 72 and the quotient 82?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 72 × 82 = 5904

To prove this, let's compute 5904 divided by 72: 5904 72 = 82

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 72 gives a result of 82 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 72 = 82

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 72: 72 x 72 = 72 × 82
  2. 72 x 72 is equivalent to 72 72 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 72 × 82 = 5904

So, if the divisor is 72 and the quotient is 82, the dividend is 5904.
