What value divided by 73 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 73 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 73 × 72 = 5256

To prove this, let's compute 5256 divided by 73: 5256 73 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 73 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 73 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 73: 73 x 73 = 73 × 72
  2. 73 x 73 is equivalent to 73 73 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 73 × 72 = 5256

So, if the divisor is 73 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 5256.
