What value divided by 74 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 74 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 74 × 72 = 5328

To prove this, let's compute 5328 divided by 74: 5328 74 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 74 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 74 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 74: 74 x 74 = 74 × 72
  2. 74 x 74 is equivalent to 74 74 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 74 × 72 = 5328

So, if the divisor is 74 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 5328.
