What value divided by 72 equals 85?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 72 and the quotient 85?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 72 × 85 = 6120

To prove this, let's compute 6120 divided by 72: 6120 72 = 85

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 72 gives a result of 85 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 72 = 85

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 72: 72 x 72 = 72 × 85
  2. 72 x 72 is equivalent to 72 72 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 72 × 85 = 6120

So, if the divisor is 72 and the quotient is 85, the dividend is 6120.
