What value divided by 72 equals 83?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 72 and the quotient 83?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 72 × 83 = 5976

To prove this, let's compute 5976 divided by 72: 5976 72 = 83

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 72 gives a result of 83 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 72 = 83

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 72: 72 x 72 = 72 × 83
  2. 72 x 72 is equivalent to 72 72 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 72 × 83 = 5976

So, if the divisor is 72 and the quotient is 83, the dividend is 5976.
