What value divided by 75 equals 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 75 × 72 = 5400

To prove this, let's compute 5400 divided by 75: $\frac{5400}{75} = 72$

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 75 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{x}{75} = 72$

We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 75: $\frac{75 x}{75} = 75 \times 72$
$\frac{75 x}{75}$ is equivalent to $\frac{75}{75} x$ , which simplifies to $1 x$ (or just $x$ ).
Thus: $x = 75 \times 72 = 5400$

So, if the divisor is 75 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 5400.
