What value divided by 76 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 76 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 76 × 72 = 5472

To prove this, let's compute 5472 divided by 76: 5472 76 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 76 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 76 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 76: 76 x 76 = 76 × 72
  2. 76 x 76 is equivalent to 76 76 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 76 × 72 = 5472

So, if the divisor is 76 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 5472.
